I already have the cable to connect my iphone 6+ to the remote controller but nothing is happening. I still have to use the WIFI internet connection for the two to talk to each other. Is it even possible to use the cable?

I got it to work. I had to turn OFF the wifi of my phone then connect the cable.

Hi, sir. Please note that OTG cable is not fully tested now. We still recommend users use wifi connection. Thanks for your cooperation.

I have to do the following.  1. Power on the remote.  2. Connect the OTG cable to my phone then power up the DJIgo4 app on my phone.  3. Plug the OTG cable into the remote.  4. Turn on the Spark.

I have had the OTG cable pull out of the remote during flight and lost video signal but unplugged it from the remote and plugged it back into the remote and regained video signal.

Also note the OTG cable doesn’t work with firmware updates.

And how long Spark has been out? Why DJI won't offer to sell an official cable? Why Spark keep recommending to use the WIFI when so many owners lost their Spark due to a lost WIFI connection?

Of course, for firmware updates, I will use the WIFI connection.

Thanks for your feedback. Our engineers are working on it. And we will work hard to meet the customers' requirement. But it is not supported now.
