From time to time, Carplay display looks scrambled, the only way I have found to fix it is by turning off and on my iPhone X. My wife uses her iPhone 8 without problem. I think it is related with IOS SW. Is there any definitive solution for that?
iPhone X
Your iPhone is trying to load the new widescreen/fullscreen view of CarPlay. Mercedes in car entertainment systems advertise themselves to the phones as capable of showing this widescreen/fullscreen version of CarPlay when indeed the firmware of your Mercedes doesn't actually know how to display it. A firmware/platform update from your local MB dealer will resolve the issue.
They should not charge you for this and I do believe that there is a TSB for an issue very similar to this with Android phones.

Fine by me.

Irrespective of what you suspect, did you confirm with MB that your dashboard is at the current firmware revision?
If not, start there, and see if that then works (better).
