Yeah I'd probably be hesitant of mixing even if I was assured compatibility. I don't know
if I'd take Prestone's word that it works with any other manufacturers coolant... Although my local Audi dealer parts guy told me he didn't know what G12+ was so I don't know who is credible anymore!

Its cool cuz I think its green too, so when the Audi purists call you dumb for putting the wrong
coolant in you can be like, "OMG I didn't even know am I going to grenade my engine now?" Likely, they'll say yes.

I've been running it since my K04 swap a few thousand miles ago...
It was recommended by the guy that did my swap for me. He's running it in some of the Porsches they've built so I'm not too worried that it'll be ok in my S4.
