I have not yet set up my new Avata 2 as been busy on other things. I understand you Activate and update all the hardware using the OTG cable and you smart phone with the DJI fly App.

I am a little confused as I updated my DJI fly App yesturday and in the connection guide I cannot see the Avata 2.

Do i just plug it in anyway ?

Your phone will only need to be plugged into the Goggles 3 to execute the entire update for the kit.

I'm seeing this too.  I updated the goggles, motion controller, and Avata 2 drone using my PC.  However, I still had to plug my phone as it kept saying it wasn't connected to DJI FLY.  After flying for a bit, the message went away but the Avata 2 still doesn't show up in the DJI Fly App.

Do you have the latest version of fly app. I just update the app on my iPad while waiting for avata 2 delivery, and app shows the avata 2 in connection options.Also added the fly app on my s23 phone with app from dji downloads and that has the avata 2 in options

I had the same issue.  after deleting the Fly App from my phone and reinstalled it, everything worked.

DJI FLY APPS Ver.1.13.0 (Android)

Many thanks

I emailed that link to my phone and on clicking it on my phone it came up with a message to download the app from the app store. I did this and the normal iphone udate app message appeared. I clicked on the update and the Avata 2 now appears in my fly app

It was strange that doing a normal App store update yesterday did not have this result. All sorted now for me however

I can confirm what Motti7 said.

It wouldn't work, it said "Device not recognized" for me.
