How to Update Firmware in DJI FPV Goggles, Air Unit and Remote Controller

by Oscar

Updating firmware for the DJI FPV system cannot be easier, in case you haven’t read the manual you should find this tutorial useful :) The steps are exactly the same for the DJI FPV Goggles, Air Unit and Remote Controller.

If you are new to the DJI FPV system, here is my tutorial on how to setup for the first time.

Launch the program DJI Assistant 2 on your computer (download here if you haven’t already).

Plug in battery to power on the device.

Connect it to your computer via a USB-C cable.

DJI FPV Goggles:

DJI Air Unit (Full Size):

Caddx Vista Air Unit:

An icon should appear in DJI Assistant 2, click it.

Click Firmware Update on the left menu and choose the latest firmware version. Click Update, and wait until it’s complete. Firmware downloading and flashing should take around 10 minutes or longer depending on your internet speed.

Make sure to do this in a well ventilated area so the Air Unit doesn’t get overheat and shut down during updating.

I have a new Cinewhoop with a Caddx Polar Vista unit and it will not connect to the DJI FPV Assistant. I thought it could be a bad air unit, so I bought another, and the second unit is doing the same thing. I make sure it’s connected to power before connecting the USB and it’s still not recognized… Any thoughts? thank you!!

DJI support is SHIT
EFFIN PISSES ME OFF
This is why people walk away en’ mass when something comparable arrives on the market…

I’m trying to update the goggles and during the ‘Transmitting’ phase the progress indicator will not go above 0% and then it times out with error code: 5-100-4. Ok great I have an error code… I can just look up that code and find out wtf is going on right? NOPE. No references to error codes anywhere. Ok np I can just search youtube or some forum or NOPE.

The same thing happen to me when trying to activate the air unit. I’m assume mine over heated and shut down like you said… but what happens if THAT happens? I’ve tried it many times later on in the day after letting it cool but now it won’t even connect to my computer at all. Just keeps connecting and disconnecting but not popping up at all on dji assistant. Now what should I do?

I tried this in the past, normally you would get a warning on the screen when you start up the goggles if the versions don’t match, but it should work. But some features might not work, it’s best if you update them to the same firwmare.

Maybe you should contact DJI support, sounds like a hardware issue to me.

Sorry I have not encountered this problem before.
Maybe the Air Unit is overheating? Try to get a fan blowing during update.
