Will it void my warranty?
Yes and No: according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act:
"No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name..." (15 U.S.C. 2302©)
So basically, if you have a warranty claim, the dealer (or warrantor) must prove that the part that you modified directly caused the failure. For example, if you chipped your car and the exhaust falls off, then the car is still under warranty.
Of all of the chips that APR, LLC has sold, as well as pretty much all other chip manufacturers, there just really aren't any problems in chipping the car. Your Audi/VW was so well engineered, that you really are not stressing anything that was not designed to take the changes that a chip produces.

Any part of your car that would otherwise be covered under warranty that Audi determines was damaged because of aftermarket components will have the warranty voided.
If you get a chip and your door falls off, that will still be covered under warranty.
However, the chips are well tested, and unlikely to cause any problems, so in the event something does happen, it probably wasn't caused by the chip. Audi would probably still blame the chip, but most of the companies have a way to put it back to stock mode so Audi can't tell that there's a chip, and will cover the problem under warranty.
