What happens if I disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes??

I am thinking about disconnecting the battery on my 2012 A7. Just thinking about "rebooting" the car. I am having an issue which I have posted in another thread. Apparently I need a re flash for the comfort module since my car occasionally will not start and I get a gearbox malfunction which if definitely NOT the problem. Will I loose a lot of settings?/ Will it not start or be weird?? Thanks to all.

Interesting you mention that. I had the car scanned and it threw a code telling me that it needs a re flash and probably a new key in order for it to work. It happens sporadically and the transmission goes into gears and works flawlessly. Hopefully is not that. Was you under warranty?? Did you need a new transmission??
