    2014 SQ5 3.0TFSI tuning

    A friend of mine is an audi tech and drives a 2014 SQ5 3.0TFSI. He wants me to tune it, but HPT doesn't list coverage for it. He said it's a B8 and SIMOS 8.4 or 8.5. Assuming both of those are true, why wouldn't HPT support it? My audi knowledge is limited so there's probably an obvious answer LOL. Thanks!

    I've done a few SQ5's, those utilize SIMOS 8.5, and will work with HPTuners

    My bad man, I'm a real person! I rarely get on here, and said friend has since moved a few hours away so I completely forgot about it. But thank you so much for the info, I'll let him know and see what we can do!

    Hello, I am new here. I have a 2015 SQ5 and am getting a "... this control module is not readable ..." error when reading the ECM. Have you encountered this? It loads a stock file from the server, but I'm worried it's the "Q5" file and not the "SQ5" file which have different stock tunes. I'm very hesitant to flash now, but I need to disable some DTC's eventually. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you for any help.

    This is completely normal. Your box code indicates the sq5 software. All of our ECU?s do this
