If you look up accessories for the GLE on the mbusa website, there's a "rear seat entertainment tablet" that's listed. There's not much info on it though. May want to check with your dealer for more info.

With all the wireless tablets out today, why is this even necessary?

Understand, but I would just as soon hold the tablet while I'm watching it. That way, I don't have to leave it in the car.

Plus these android tablets have more features.You can download netflix or amazon video and use car’s wifi for it to work.Doubt you can watch netflix with oem screens
Or you could just use the hot spot on your phone or wireless on your iPad. I'm watching Netflix on my OEM iPad right now.

To each his own...

This is why we chose to include the option 866 Accessory Pre-Installation in our build so that we may install removable tablets in the future when our budget allows for it.
I don't mean to interfere with the OP's thread, but this is my solution for my kids.

I have 4 kids so i would have to get 4 ipads .These screens that op is offering are removable too if burglars is a concern.
I just went to the parts department and oem 10” displays are $900 each so this is a steal that op is offering and they are 11.6”

Thanks for the info as i have been interested in this option but never made my way to the dealer.
Do you know if the OEM can play audio through car speakers if the car is wired for rear seat entertainment option (which we chose)? Also, do the screens come with wireless headsets?

Yes the screens will play audio through the car’s speakers or you can connect headphones via Bluetooth.Unfortunatelly they don't come with headphones only with remote.Also dealer is offering them to me for $800 a piece.

On the "China" screens - yes you can get a pair (2) 11.6" screens with Android 8.1 for like $500 thru AliExpress vendors...

Now - the "Plug-N-Play" mount on these China rigs is is exactly that - a mount - each comes with separate power cable to plug each into 12V... and "sound" connectivity to the car system is thru a FM modulator... you have China headphones of course... and you will have a older/non-upgrade-able Android version which is common in China but not common here in the us..

All said and done - really - for the vast majority of folks out there - it's Apple or iPhone tablets - with or without a head rest mount... $250 ea for China... $350 ea for iPad... like $150 ea for a strong Amazon tablet... etc... the choices are almost endless .... no biggie anymore really

For the Mercedes OE unit - interestingly from the info dealer's have on hand (Star system and ODUS) no cross-reference as to plug-n-play "connectivity" meaning - we don't know if the accessory port will provide power and/or audio connection.

Now - for iPad and some Samsung there is a "port attachment"/hangar available - must have matching MB "safetty case" as well - and that iPad/Samsung system is assumed to have no connectivity at all - and there is a "fold-down table" for that port as well (with warning not for use in passenger seat while moving" - which has no connectivity as well.

The key here - for the OE tablet - someone will have to report .

On GLE - ODUS specs for GLE does show 866 pre-wiring - and ODUS accessory system says MB tablet compatible - BUT Hot-Spot required - so heck not enough info.

On the GLS the VMI specs show 866 Seat Row Entertainment - and ODUS show compatible - Hot Spot required - but again not enougth info to know what it will do and what it will no do.

Pulled the trigger and bought oem tablet entertainment center Its plug and play if you have option 866 .No need for a hot spot, you can play movies/video/game console via usb and hdmi or use wifi and play whatever you want via internet browser.Audio can be played through anything that has Bluetooth including car’s speakers . Each screen comes with manual and remote control and its a touchscreen.
Here is my youtube videos demonstrating plug and play installation and playback of usb video:

In US (maybe others also), 866 is Rear Seat Entertainment System Prewiring, and it comes with DP1 Premium Package

These are $900 msrp each but my dealer sold it to me for $800 each (im sure there is more wiggle room).
If you go to your parts department and tell them your VIN they will locate the entertainment center for you .There is only one oem that works with 2020 gls
