Hello,
Drone Newbie here.
I just acquired a used Phantom 4 Adv. from a friend of mine who upgraded to another drone.
The one item I cant locate is the Drone's Data Cable for doing the Firmware Update.
Every time I fly the drone im warned that I need to do an update.

I've searched but have not been able to find it available. Or it has a different name.
Any advice on how I can get a new replacement Data Cable ?

Sincerely, Steve-P4

Its a standard Micro USB cable used in a lot of Android phones and tablets (Not the newer USB-C).

There have been many people who have run into issue when applying the updates. If you ignore the request to update firmware are you still able to fly? If you are I would just ignore it and keep flying.

I use an IPhone charging cable.  There are many that will work.

Yes, the drone still flies.
However, the original owner never did a Firmware Update since he bought it.
I need to do an Update.

from the videos I've seen, the standard USB/Mini USB has to be connected to my Android.
Secondly, a Mini USB to Mini USB needs to be connected from the Remote to the Drone.
That Adapter is what I need to connect the Drone to the Remote.
