Default APR Program Switching Absent in APR Q5 ECU tune

Can anyone confirm that the APR ECU Tune for the Q5 3.0 TFSI doesn't have an option to switch programs? I just had the Stage 2+ installed and the dealer told me that there wasn't a program switching option for this car. It's either fully tuned or not. I was looking forward to switching to stock for when the wife takes the car.

Thank you!

I can confirm that's the case for the SQ5 (that they currently don't offer a switchable tune). When I was shopping for my SQ5 there was one with a tune, so I called to inquire on how the APR programming worked.

Thanks, TGT! That's good to know. Oh well, maybe I'll see it in an update in the near future.

tmoe, not sure what you are saying. 2014 Q5 3.0 TFSI is Supercharged. Are you saying that it has a Continental SIMOS 8.5 ECU, which is not switchable?

Wondering if you had any issues when taking your car into the dealer to get warranty work done on it.

Haven't done that yet ;^) But, I plan on taking it to the APR dealer first to take it back to stock firmware prior to going to the Audi dealer.
