Are there any tuners you can use that does not void warranty?
Just curious as I will not do anything to my car that may potentially void any part of the warranty. I believe Dinan is approved by BMW and therefore does not void/impact the warranty. Any such tuner for Audi?

No such thing.
And there is no modification that will automatically void your warranty except the chip. They may decide not to cover a certain part because you've replaced it but your whole warranty will not be void. Or if the new part caused a failure they will not cover that repair.

Funny how we keep hearing rumors of MTM getting the same deal as Dinan has w/ BMW...
but I won't hold my breathe! Seems like Audi is leaving A LOT of money on the table by not getting into "factory tuning" the way some others have. Plus , it might help curb some of the costs of doing warranty work on cars that have been modded.
I know that for me personally, if they offered tuning solutions that wouldn't void my warranty I would be willing to accept slightly less power and slightly higher prices compared to other non-sanctioned tuners.

my dealer voided my warranty due to an aftermarket stereo...
the dash LCD screen is dying on my A6 4.2. It's a known problem..
My dealer wouldn't fix it.. He blamed it on the stereo.. He also tried to blame it on the RS6 steering wheel I installed..
I hate my dealer.. they suck @$$!

He voided your whole warranty because of a radio? Or he just won't cover THAT repair?
Are you saying they won't now fix a suspension problem or something completely unrelated?
By the way... Love the Dart GTS. Any pics?

I called AOA - they said "if an Audi dealer installed it, it wouldn't have voided it".
but since a car stereo specialist did it, I'm screwed.. I replied.. "Oh I didn't know Audi was a panasonic certified installer". She replied "we are not"..
So lame.. I currently own 3 audi's and this is how thery treat me..
