TLDR version: If your '05 has OnStar, then yes. If no OnStar, it's not pre-wired for that harness pigtail.
Long version: The really early cars have a different hands-free kit wiring harness than the '01-up cars, different part number and all.
The '01-03 cars all came with OnStar, IIRC. On those cars, the connector that the harness goes into is used by the OnStar controls, and is wrapped in cloth tape, behind the radio cage. Remove the cage, undo the tape, disconnect, plug harness in, and you're ready.
If your '05 is OnStar equipped, it should be just like the '01-03 cars. I'm not sure about '04s, but with the '05 I had, since mine was a non-OnStar car, it did NOT have the connector for the hands-free kit harness.
Had I chosen to install a Bluetooth hands-free kit in the '05, I would have had to modify the connectors that clip onto the cage (and that the radio slides into), and use a different adapter harness (two of the connectors are standardized, the third feeds data to the SID). I wasn't ambitious enough at the time to bother doing the job, and that car didn't stick around terribly long (sold in favor of a NG9-5, which in turn didn't stay here more than a year and a half).
