I'm pretty sure it was just the Bluetooth for 05, 6-speed, LED tail lights, head light, wheels, and front bumper redesign were 06+.

Correct. The refresh upgrade with LED tail lights, 6-speed, HID Headlights wheels, front bumper and new dashboard was with model year 2006.

The 2005 had new shocks.

Interesting, I didn't know about the dashboard change. What changed about it?

Are the new (2005+) shocks backward compatible? Are they improved or just new?

The dashboard changed b'c the car went to a 6 speed with sport shift manual so the light up shifter indicator on the dashboard had to change.

Yes, I think I read somewhere around here the 05 or 06 started the retuned suspension.
