I'm looking at a 2020 S560, that include the rear seat entertainment screens. I'm not very interest in having them used, so I'm wondering if anyone has instructions for removal, and what that effort is?
Is this something that I should be having done at the dealer, especially if this car is CPO? Any idea on what this might cost?

Thanks!
I can give instructions for removal and code it all out
Here you go. It’s a very simply process. I just removed them 2 weeks ago on my way back from a short road trip. I purchased 2 large PC screens and needed vertical clearance on the rear as they did not fit in the trunk nor on the seat. I followed the process in reverse the next day to put them back. Feel free to message me if you need help or have more questions.
Just curious, why do you want to remove them? Same issue (space?)? I would keep them even if you do NOT need them.
Keep in mind there is no way to use Massage seats without screens. There are a few other functions for seat comfort that are only accessible from the screens. If the car is CPO’ed, and you feel you really really really need to take them off, I would remove them yourself and then ask your dealer to code them off for you if you have no intention to ever install them back. It must not take more than 15-30 min of tech time, so 60 USD based on my typical Mbenz local rate, and if it’s CPO’ed you might talk them into doing it for free if u remove them yourself. If you are super worried, have them do it all together for u, shouldn’t take more than 1 hour labor time including removal.
If it is temporarily, I did not have any issues with any installing them and putting them back after I arrived, but would never consider removing them permanently.
Important: I don’t think you will like how the rear seats look after removing the rear seats if you are planning on this to be permanent unless u also want to retrofit the back of each seat.
if you have the facelift, the cover removal process is a little different. Mine is the facelift and I did not have a small cover too. The entire back is the cover. Look under the screen and u will see screws. It was a bit easier to remove them. See photos from my facelift S560
Sorry but i meant the cover wich you mount in the gap created when you remove the screens. So in the seats back there's a huge gap when you remove those screens. I would normaly think MB would sell a platic cover to hide that. Thát cover i did not find unfortunately.
From what i found out thta pre-FL there are covers but not for the FL. But i hope im wrong.

I think you are right which is why I said in my first comment that I would never consider keeping them removed that way.
in all ways I don’t see a reason as to why anyone would want them all the time off permanently
