First time poster, long time Mercedes owner. Yesterday I took delivery of my 22 GLE 350. This replaces my brief stray to a Ford Raptor that proved to be a complete disaster….I came back to MB after 4 months. It was that bad!
Coming from other German brands, with an abundance of aftermarket upgrades and solutions. I can’t seem to find much for our cars other than Amazon small console upgrades, and bling for the entire interior
Can someone please direct me to some upgrades and accessories, besides Amazon and MBUSA? Thanks! Delivery day!
Unlike the Raptor, or even BMWs, the GLE is not a highly "modded" model, so manufacturers don't produce many options. Those that do concentrate on the Coupes and 63s (and of course the G Class). You can get Chinese appearance items as discussed here, https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...fications.html, though I typically shy away from Chinese stuff unless there is no alternative. Other sources to check:

Best aftermarket accessory you can buy for your GLE. Been using these mats on my other cars since forever and they still look brand new after more than 5 years. If you live on rainy or snowy region these are the best mats money can buy.

For those who are clean freak, have long nails, likes to touch the screen, and with little children do yourselves a favor and buy yourselves a tempered glass screen protector for the dash. It is one of thing that I was so afraid of touching or wiping since we got our GLE few weeks ago and specifically told the dealer to never take out the plastic film upon delivery or I will not accept the vehicle. Now I can touch it and wipe it as much as I want without worrying of scratching the screen. Perfect fit as well. It came in a sturdy box from China and arrived fast. This is the cheapest one I found on ebay. Some are asking for +$100 for it. Make sure to take your time cleaning the screen before you install this. Close the doors and let the dust settle down. Clean the surrounding area first then clean the dash screen. Wear some latex gloves. If you manage to install this perfectly you can install any screen covering as it will be the biggest screen cover you will ever do.
Tuxmats seem to be the better choice for mats. Wish they could be branded with AMG or the Tristar.
That screen protector is two pieces. Can you post a picture how it looks like installed? The one I got was a little nerve racking to install as it is so damn long but you just need to take your time.

I ended up returning my Tuxmat order. I think it may different for the SUV, but the rear bench seat base is a lot higher in the coupe than what is shown in the pictures above, which I presume are for the SUV. As a result, the coupe version didn’t tuck very well underneath the seat, especially by the sides and it just didn’t look neat (and yes, this was with exchanging photos and videos with Tuxmat).
Also, the there was only one spot in the front near the center transmission tunnel that I could clip the vertical portion to and the Velcro/sticker wouldn’t stick anywhere else in that area. As a result, it didn’t lay completely flat against the side. However, no other clips were needed anywhere else for the fronts.

Interesting. Supposed to get mine delivered next week. We'll see how they fit.

Yes, that’s what I ordered. Surprisingly, the rear seats are different between the SUV and coupe. It’s weird, but the bottom of the bench seats are much higher versus the photo example above. I’ll try and take a photo later to show you want I’m talking about. The mat that I got was specifically made for the coupe, but it still didn’t fit right.
I’m not sure if the carpet gap in the transmission tunnel area is different with the coupe, but I could only find one spot to clip that vertical part and the Velcro wouldn’t stick on our carpet.
Sorry to hear the mat did not fit. Mine is superb and I didn't use any clips. I have the suv though. Just waiting for some AMG tiny badges I ordered to try and swap out the TuxMat logo badges. Ha. Might be futile but I'm going to try.

Do not remove the badge as there will be a hole on it after. Leave it be.

BTW make sure you use those velcro double sided clips on the sill like what I did on mine. If you don't do it it might pinch your door and your autoclose won't work. It will also refrain the mats from curling up.
Wireless Car Charger for Mercedes-Benz GLE W167 (All Models)
My GLE's wireless charger option was dropped due to the chip shortage. I believe many out there suffered the same fait. Found this alternative that looks good, fits amazing and works as it should. It is also 15W so it's fast charging. Quality is very good and it is priced reasonably. Very happy with mine.
