Anyone else have the problem where their wild card button just resets randomly and does nothing till you go back to the MMI settings and click the option again n

Very common issue. Use the search entering star/favourite button. No fix but you can hold the button down to get the screen to set it up again.

Guess it’s just something we gotta live with
 
Mine was already set to change the Drive select which is what I want it for and it seems to have stuck to it as I've not had it reset or not work yet. Maybe ask if there are any software updates next time you take it to Audi?
 
There is a technical bulletin that addresses this issue. The local Audi service team should be able to update the MMI software to fix this issue.

I’ve been keeping an eye on mine to see if there is a pattern.
I find it works first time I start the car but if I like pop into a shop and come out the button doesn’t work and it doesn’t work again unless the car has cooled down and essentially had a proper shut down and restart. Usually overnight.
My car at the moment is used mainly for short runs and rarely goes far maybe that’s a contributor to that

They are released internally from Audi to their dealers. The public does not have access to them without paid subscription. Either way, if the car is under warranty, take it down and they should be able to update your software.
