DFRobot Expansion I/O Shield V.5 & XBee HC-06 problems..

have A problem with the DFRobot Expansion IO Shield V5.0
Was it discontinued because it did not function?

Here are my products with links
DFRobot Expansion I/O Shield V.5
HC-06 Bluetooth Bee Bluetooth Wireless Module

There does not seem to be much information on how to get into AT mode with this device. I looked at the v7 wiki but not much there either.
My pins are in the default positions. I am not sure where to put them to get the bluetooth in AT mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Also when I run this passthrough code
 

Code: Select allvoid setup()
{
  // Set up both ports at 9600 baud. This value is most important
  // for the XBee. Make sure the baud rate matches the config
  // setting of your XBee.
  XBee.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  if (Serial.available())
  { // If data comes in from serial monitor, send it out to XBee
    XBee.write(Serial.read());
  }
  if (XBee.available())
  { // If data comes in from XBee, send it out to serial monitor
    Serial.write(XBee.read());
  }
}

I get gibberish from the serial monitor. This is a copy paste from the monitor

I have tried various bits of code to communicate to the Bluetooth module and I get unreadable replies.
I have also tried other serial monitors as well and get the same thing...

My questions are these
How can I get into AT Mode with this setup? I have no switches on my units.
Why am I getting gibberish in the serial monitor? I have set the baud to be 9600 for the monitor

Thanks in advance for any help.
