I’d just look for universal tablet holders, and use an iPad or android tablets. Doesn’t work well for younger kids for sure, especially when you need to control or choose for them what they watch. The nice thing about the factory screens is that you can control all of that from the front screen via the remote control, or use a USB drive with downloaded videos. Noting beats factory setup in terms of functionality and cosmetics, but the only alternative is a universal tablet/ipad holders IMO.

I hope u’ll find answers here. I don’t have first hand experience with the seats of the W223. I think all you need is to carefully hide the USB wire and run it through the seats.
I did that before for my first W222 that didn’t have screens. I had to feed them power from the 12V power outlet under the rear AC vents, I then ran all the wires through the seats from the very bottom, extended all the way up to where the headrest slots are.
