Yes, well in theory, yes. The tune won’t affect non power train parts like dash, windows etc so every Audi dealership I’ve ever gone to has said if I were to tune, it’d just be the power train portion of the warranty voided.
That said, I’ve heard horror stories at some other dealerships in other parts of the country.
If you’re thinking about tuning, I’d get to know your service advisor/mechanic at your dealership and just ask them what’s what. Obviously you’ll want to ask before you do anything and make it clear you haven’t done anything yet either but are researching stuff.
If you’re going to be a VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group) guy now, you’ll become familiar with the term TD1 in short order.
Hint: it’s their internal code for voided warranty due to tuning.
