Radio Rebooting Every 2 mins ???
My 2014 G550 radio comes on and plays for about 2 mins then it will freeze (no buttons works during this time) it will then reboot. It will keep doing this cycle about every 2 mins. 
One thing that I have noticed is if you try to select Navigation when it first comes on I will give you a drive error. (DRIVE unavailable). I think that the NAV is trying to load and when it does not load it makes the unit reboot. I have only had this vehicle for a few months. Is the navigation built into the Comand unit? Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

Please do not disconnect the battery - if you go that route then you need to reset a handful of other things like - reset each window - and reset sunroof - or you stand a good chance down the road to "blow" a window regulator or the sunroof.
For your COMAND - hold the Power Button down for 10-15secs and the COMAND "should" go into reboot mode.
It is quite possible the COMAND unit will need to be reprogrammed at the dealer - which online in the shop can takes up a couple hrs shop time - the good news is there probably a updated COMAND programming - you can call your local dealer about that.

go get the COMAND software updated...
Had same issue on my 2015 E class....
First time they could not duplicate...
Second time I specificially said problem is still there please check if there is software update as I am sure it will fix my issues...
(got a tip on some TSBs in W212 section TSB which had similar issues and stated update software)
Good Luck
