Broken Nav
My navigation has been acting up. It is showing a totally different location and occasionally showing me moving when car is standing still. Took car to dealer who told me they need to replace processor board for $1k (of course!). Konigster suggested updating COMAND and Nav firmware, and that fixed nav for a few days. Upgrading the firmware allowed me to play MP3s and showed estimate for time of arrival!
However, nav started acting up again so I was wondering if there was a way to reboot the Nav system or am I SOL? Thanks for any suggestions/help!

Rather than disconnecting the battery in which case you may need to normalize various settings (sunroof, windows, seats, etc.) pull f3 (audio gateway) and f6 (navigation processor) fuses at the rear SAM located behind and forward of the navigation processor for a minute or two and reinstall. However, no guarantee this will clear the malfunction. Check your email.

Pulling the F3 and F6 fuses as recommended by konigstiger did reset my Nav and fixed the problem! Hopefully, this fix will last for some time, but at least I know what to do if Nav acts up again.
Thanks again for your help, konigstiger and weinschela!
