Nope, they got changed in '06. Just call them and tell them you need one for an '06. As for speakers, 6.5"s all around. I'm not really sure about the onstar (as I don't have it)

that means 2 more 6.5 typr r. and i email crutchfield about the wireing harness and mounting kit..

That sucks man. See if there is someone in your area with an '06, and see if they are the same. If they are, just get the '06 one.

A lot of us have been looking for a harness....this is what we found so far

06 aftermarket radio harness

Yeah Crutchfield only has info on the 2004 Ion....when you try & put in a newer Ion it says they don't have your info. Everything is the same except for the headunit change in '06-07. So you're gonna need the proper dash kit & wiring harness for your '07.

The "black tie" radio is in a bunch of GM cars now....(Solstice, Sky, HHR, Vue...). They should have something available, but not too sure about keeping the OnStar

Even ebay has the frickin' harnesses though:
