is your GLS also a V6?

If so then you can swap over cruise, and the seats, rear blind if it has one, thats about it.

Maybe not the cruise as your GLS may not have the wiring installed

not sure about 2.0l and v6 but i had a cd and a gls 2.5 td and wiring looms were same apart from gls had more plugs going nowhere.
wiring loms are cheaply mass produced and the main part probably same in all. ussally just need to find right plug and switch. if you got both cars side by side then should be no problem but if you change the m.i.d from the cdx to the gls then you'd need a little help from tech2.

the cd changer is in the boot and my gls doesn't have the wiring in the boot for it , so does it connect further back in the car i.e. under the rear seat or under the sill scuff guards like early cavs.

and are the switch sockets behind the switch blanks ??

by m.i.d do you mean the dash i.e. radio dis and comp ?

you wont have the front to rear harness in the GLS, but it can be easily swopped from the CDX, just remove it from the changer and follow it back to the front of the car to the plug in the drivers footwell, this is where you will probably find you do not have the correct harness. It can be tucked up behind the dash but my GLS only had a basic harness ans was totally different. Best bet is to remove the footwell trim by the bonnet release on both cars and check the big multiplug that bridges the ecu and see if they are the same. HTH

Should just be plug and play, see if you have the plug in the boot for the blind, should be under the the parcel shelf on the n/s towards the front
