“Is there a plan to enable remote ID in the future? Will it be something as simple as a software update? How can I make this drone remote ID compliant?”

Remote ID has passed. It's going to happen. We (and they) just don't know how yet. Drone manufacturers will start putting a beacon/transmitter inside of future drones, but as far as drones that are already in consumer's hands, they really aren't sure yet. Rumor has it that they originally wanted us drone owners to send our drones back to the manufacturer for them to open our drones, install remote ID and then send them back. That won't work, because some drone manufacturers went out of business, not everyone will send in their drones, and manufacturers would become overwhelmed with the response. So now the talk is... We fill out a registration form and send it in, the FAA programs a little beacon/transmitter and sends it to us to be attached to our drones. It should be about the size of a Flytron Strobon strobe light. It will either be attached with Velcro or glue. There's not too much known right now. A lot of old timers in the drone world actually think that implementation of remote ID will fail. How big of a team would you need to make millions of the little devices, program them with your information and register every drone owner (millions) with their device number in a database. And some drone owners have more than one drone!!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.copied from earlier question. Answered by DJI rep: According to the FAR Part 89 Remote ID regulations, the RID compliance for American users starts from September 16, 2023. Before that, the FAA RID regulation does not affect the user’s flight activity. DJI will conduct evaluation and prepare appropriate plans for different aircraft after the RID technical standards and MOC recognized by FAA are issued. Best Regards, DJI Support
