Nope, the warranty on your 2018 Audi SQ5 will absolutely not be voided if you add the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness you asked about:

- ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT

Your vehicle is protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This act says if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever you have added to your vehicle or its installation actually caused the problem in question.

So the addition of a part does not void any warranty whatsoever on your 2018 Audi SQ5, including that harness or a trailer hitch that fits, such as the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397.
