Here’s how Remote ID works (and how to get it working) on the DJI Mini 4 / Mini 4 Pro, based on the latest official info and user reports:

==== 🛩️ 1. Understand What Remote ID Is ====

Remote ID (RID) is a broadcast that lets authorities see your drone’s ID, location, and flight data nearby — it’s a legal requirement in many regions (UK, EU, US) when the drone isn’t exempt. Civil Aviation Authority<ref>{{cite web|title=Civil Aviation Authority|url=https://www.caa.co.uk/drones/moving-on-to-more-advanced-flying/remote-id-rid/|publisher=Civil Aviation Authority|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

==== 📌 2. What DJI Built In — and What Doesn’t Show Up in Settings ====

===== ✅ Mini 4 Pro Has Built-in Remote ID Support =====

The drone is capable of Remote ID internally — meaning it can broadcast it without needing an external module. enterprise-insights.dji.com<ref>{{cite web|title=enterprise-insights.dji.com|url=https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/blog/navigating-remote-id-compliance-for-drone-operations-in-the-eu|publisher=enterprise-insights.dji.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

===== 🚫 There’s Often No On/Off Toggle =====

Unlike some industrial DJI drones, on the Mini 4 the DJI Fly app may not show a Remote ID switch or setup screen in menus. This is normal — DJI does not always include a manual toggle even when Remote ID is supported. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com//r/dji/comments/1m0ves3|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

==== 🔋 3. Firmware & Battery Dependencies (Important) ====

===== 🟡 Standard Battery (249 g) =====
'' With the standard battery only, Mini 4 Pro usually will ''not* broadcast Remote ID — DJI has limited activation to when the drone is above 250 g, which happens with a larger battery. hi-network.com<ref>{{cite web|title=hi-network.com|url=https://www.hi-network.com/are-dji-mini-drones-now-non-compliant-for-commercial-use-faq.html|publisher=hi-network.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* This means: - If you fly recreationally under 250 g and don’t need to register the drone, RID may not broadcast (and no in-app setting appears). - If you do need to be Remote ID compliant (commercial/registered flight in the US, or RID mandatory country), you may not be compliant flying just with the standard battery.

===== 🟢 Intelligent Flight Battery Plus =====
* If your Mini 4 Pro has the Plus battery installed, Remote ID will be activated automatically and will broadcast from takeoff to shutdown. DJI Download<ref>{{cite web|title=DJI Download|url=https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mini_4_Pro/20240627/DJI_Mini_4_Pro_User_Manual-EN.pdf|publisher=DJI Download|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* In this case you don’t need to enable it manually — DJI handles it.
* The DJI Fly app will automatically perform the Remote ID self-test before takeoff and show the status if there’s a failure. DJI Download<ref>{{cite web|title=DJI Download|url=https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mini_4_Pro/20240627/DJI_Mini_4_Pro_User_Manual-EN.pdf|publisher=DJI Download|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

💡 Summary: DJI currently triggers Remote ID broadcast only when the Plus battery is in the aircraft. With just the standard battery, there’s generally no internal broadcast even if the hardware supports it.

==== 🛠️ 4. Practical Steps to Get Remote ID Working ====

===== ✔️ Update Everything =====
# Update the Mini 4 firmware in DJI Fly.
# Update the battery firmware (if prompted).
# Update the DJI Fly app to the latest release.

This ensures all RID protocols are available. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/dji/comments/1cnw4r4|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

===== ✔️ Use the Plus Battery =====
* Install the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus — this triggers Remote ID.
* Turn on the drone and controller and connect your mobile device running DJI Fly.

===== ✔️ Check Remote ID Status =====
* DJI Fly typically shows Remote ID errors or status during pre-flight (PFST self-test). DJI Download<ref>{{cite web|title=DJI Download|url=https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mini_4_Pro/20240627/DJI_Mini_4_Pro_User_Manual-EN.pdf|publisher=DJI Download|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* If Remote ID isn’t broadcasting, check local Wi-Fi networks — you may see an SSID starting with “RID-…” if it is active. enterprise-insights.dji.com<ref>{{cite web|title=enterprise-insights.dji.com|url=https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/blog/navigating-remote-id-compliance-for-drone-operations-in-the-eu|publisher=enterprise-insights.dji.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

==== 📍 5. Region-Specific Notes ====

===== 🇬🇧 UK / EU =====
* You must enable Remote ID starting Jan 2026/2028 depending on drone class. Civil Aviation Authority<ref>{{cite web|title=Civil Aviation Authority|url=https://www.caa.co.uk/drones/moving-on-to-more-advanced-flying/remote-id-rid/|publisher=Civil Aviation Authority|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* You’ll need to enter your national operator ID into the drone if required by your authority (CAA in the UK). Civil Aviation Authority<ref>{{cite web|title=Civil Aviation Authority|url=https://www.caa.co.uk/drones/moving-on-to-more-advanced-flying/remote-id-rid/|publisher=Civil Aviation Authority|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

===== 🇺🇸 US (FAA) =====
* Remote ID is mandatory for most operations if registered.
* Mini 4 Pro only broadcasts RID when Plus battery is used — no app toggle is currently available. hi-network.com<ref>{{cite web|title=hi-network.com|url=https://www.hi-network.com/are-dji-mini-drones-now-non-compliant-for-commercial-use-faq.html|publisher=hi-network.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* If the standard battery is used and you need compliance, you may need an external RID module.

==== ❓ Common Issues & Tips ====
* Don’t see a Remote ID menu? DJI Fly doesn’t always show one — the drone may auto-broadcast without a visible toggle. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com//r/dji/comments/1m0ves3|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* Remote ID error on boot: This can be normal if the system checks are running and you’re on standard battery. Often it resolves once you swap batteries or update firmware. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/dji/comments/1cnw4r4|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* If compliance is legally required (e.g., Part 107): Using the Plus battery is currently the most reliable way to activate built-in RID. hi-network.com<ref>{{cite web|title=hi-network.com|url=https://www.hi-network.com/are-dji-mini-drones-now-non-compliant-for-commercial-use-faq.html|publisher=hi-network.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>

If you want, I can tailor steps specifically for UK/EASA compliance or for FAA Remote ID requirements — just tell me where you’re flying!
