A number of folks have.
I would strongly urge you to go to your local dealer and make sure you have the latest version of software before going to APR for a tune. I experienced a rare occurrence Friday.

I have software version 2 and I need 5 before they can flash APR to it because they have no way of getting a 2 base file if something happens.
Essentially, you want to make sure you have the same software version APR is tuning with. For my 2017 3.0T Q7 that was version 5...

Other than that, I have had two other Audi cars I have APR tuned and absolutely love it! Cannot say enough about power gains combined with every day drive-ability.

i have a 18 3.0T and my ECU is on the APR list. Wish I could know what version software I have and can I see the version on MMI? I live 5 hrs from closest Audi dealer

That is most likely the software version for your MMI, not the ECU...

^ Interested in reading your review. I was planning on adding a piggyback onto mine as I have a Neuspeed Power module on our Q5 which is great, but sadly reviews on available piggybacks on our 3.0T are not great.

I'm really concerned about warranty - even with APR+.
