Rear entertainment after market

Hi,

What after market option does one have to put two WiFi screens on back of headrest? I’ve seen some on eBay that are Android from China. My concern is power as I don’t think the slot for power is standard on the headrest for 2021?

My other issue is how to feed power to it?

thanks

The issue is you have to have pre-installation "Entertainment & Convenience" (Code 866) installed and mine doesn’t have this. Anyway to after market install this?

I’m also surprised it’s hard to find a lot of discussions on the 2021 GLS 450 on after market accessories, floor mats, electronics etc.unless I’m looking in the wrong place?

I don't think that is correct anymore. You should call up your local parts dept, give them your VIN and see if you can get it.
