Thank you for letting me know! Happy Landings! :)

I decided to update both aircraft and now have the internal RID activated. Thank you. By the way, for my Mavic 2 Pro the Part 107 registration did not even show an option for using an external RID module on that aircraft! Must be the manufacture date combined with Big Brother knowing that it has...

I had two aircraft registered as both recreational and part 107, but after RID, you must choose one or the other although you old "inventory" lists may still be in your FAA DroneZone account. Goto "Manage Inventory." I chose to put them all in my Part 107 inventory, the went to Recreational...

Code 180 Mavic 2 with no RID solution: I Updated DJI Go4 App on my iPad as you said. I did it via App store "update" and I have RID working and a RID #! Thank you this worked for me! Many thanks!!!

Thinking of using this instead of activating internal Mavic 2 RID. I think that it may transmit takeoff location and drone in-flight info -- but thats it. If so, I like that and may use it in places where I want to takeoff, then walk a ways as I fly just to avoid hecklers. I fly legal btw I'm...

I have M2P and M2Z. I only updating one of them for RID. If I update all my batteries' firmwares, will they work in the Mavic 2 that is still on old firmware? I'm doing bc I have a RID module on the other.

About the controllers I have both RC1A (came w/ the used M2 Pro), and RC1B (came with the used M2 Zoom). I have updated firmware on theM2Z for RID, but will use module on the M2P. Would both controllers work with both aircraft or should i keep them as originally paired? Also, if they are all...

I have several drones, and just got 2 FrSky modules -- one for my heavy lift, and the other for an old training model. I could remove the trainer from my list, and put the module on my M2P. In this way, the M2 Zoom would have activated internal RID; whereas my M2 Pro would have the module for...

Oh good -- and you some Part 107 too! Thanks for writing!

Thanks for letting me know that it is working for you!

Lesson learned: Why my Mavic 2 firmware update keeps failing? -- the cable! Must be a high-quality data cable like OG Apple USB-C to USB-C! Worked now!

Thanks I updated my DJI Assistant 2 and did the firmware update for the M2 Zoom, and it was very picky about the USB-C cable as I did not get the original with the used drone. Only my latest Apple USB-C to C cable worked!

Thanks that seems easiest. What are "hacks" for DJI?

My Mavic 2's have old firmware (perhaps 2020 year). I do some Part 107 work but also recreational. Getting back into it after some health setbacks. It seems obvious to me to update firmware for RID inside the Mavic 2 -- but is there any advantage to keeping the oldest viable firmware and just...

If you purchased commercial sUAV thru AMA, did you agree to the condition to fly in remote areas? Read the contractual language at the bottom of the application.
