Further to: How to disable DroneID on DJI drones (for free) inc. Mini 2, Mini 3, Mavic, Air, 2S, etc - using CIA Jeep Doors
A new thread to discuss the available apps and utilities that can read the beacons emitted by drones that support Drone ID.
First up, the original (open source) source code from the “Open Drone ID” app is available here for anyone that wishes to have a nosey or a play:
Which when compiled will give you a basic app that you can use to see the location of the drone and the location of the operator.
If you don’t have the tools/skills to compile your own Android app, there is a compiled version of the app here:
Your tablet/phone will need specific hardware to be able to read all the goodies.
It absolutely needs it, there is no getting around this, it’s a hardware thing.
Here is a list of currently-compatible devices:
There are also only a few compatible drones currently. As I type this, the DJI Mavic 3, the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the Parrot Anafi are known to work:
This list will also be updated over time so keep an eye on this url:
Next up, a bunch of posts from a related thread .

Wayne, this might be of interest too:
The red marker is the location of the drone and the blue marker is location of the pilot:
You’ll have seen a lot of this being discussed in #areoscope-droneid in recent months

And a compiled version, for people who don’t want to roll their own:
It’s like your very own little AeroScope in a smartphone
You can use that app to test if you’ve really successfully disabled Drone ID.

I’ve been out of the loop on this, is drone ID now a thing?
Just download the Zip, will have a play/look later, Thanks Rich

You can also use it to find out where the pilot is of that annoying drone that keeps randomly buzzing over your gaff

Possibly the upcoming NLD mod , when it’s released.
Or I wonder if @florin.a could mod his Drone Tweaks iOS app to not reset these Drone ID flags?

It might be worth having a look at this

It’s open source so I’m sure you could add the script as long as you don’t charge for it.
Not as easy as that unfortunately, the iOS app is not open source and finding the pieces of code that revert those changes is a pretty big investigating job
I think @speatuk meant that the ciajeepdoors patch was open source and that you could use that source code to look for similar pointers in the iOS Fly app.
Possibly

Had a play with this, loaded up and running on 2 android devices but couldn’t get it to see my mini 2 or the controller
Have I missed something Rich?
Then I guess the disabling of the remote id worked
There’s a list of compatible devices over here:
## Introduction
This document contains a list of compatible smartphones that have been tested for receiving the Broadcast Remote ID signals from an Unmanned Aircraft (UA) or add-on device following the European and US standards.
It is part of the documentation for the example Android Remote ID receiver application available [here](https://github.com/opendroneid/receiver-android).
General information about Remote ID can be found [here](https://github.com/opendroneid/opendroneid-core-c#opendroneid-core-c) and a list of Remote ID transmitter devices [here](transmitter-devices.md).
The current specification of both the ASD-STAN prEN4709-02 (EU version) and the ASTM F3411-19 (US version) standards rely on wireless protocols in the unlicensed spectrum to broadcast the desired identification and telemetry data from UAs to ground observers.
Particularly, they define transport methods over Bluetooth 4 Legacy Advertising, Bluetooth 5 Long Range (Advertising Extensions over Coded PHY S8), Wi-Fi Beacon and Wi-Fi Neighbor Awareness Network (NAN).
The main reason for choosing these wireless technologies is that they meet the requirement of being supported on ordinary mobile devices.
Neither of the above standards cover the receiver side of the Broadcast Remote ID.
This document provides a quick overview of the compatibility of community tested smartphones with the specified Broadcast Remote ID technologies.
The current stage of the prEN4709-02 (per January 2021) is a finished draft at CEN Enquiry, and the final version will be published in the upcoming months.
To obtain a copy of the ASTM Remote ID standard, please visit this [link](https://www.astm.org/Standards/F3411.htm).
**Disclaimer:** The list of tested devices is not exhaustive and comes without any guarantees.
It might contain some errors and misleading information.

Not an exhaustive list mind

If I get time later in the week I’ll try it on the DJI Smart Controller and CrystalSky. Could also try it on the Autel SC just for a laugh

Sorry for the confusion @Gham
@SparkyFPV fyi I couldn’t get the OpenDroneID app to pick up my Mini 2 either. Tried it on the CrystalSky (long shot at best) and the OG Smart Controller. No dice on either.
Also tried it on a very old 2013 Google Nexus 5 , no dice there either
Tempted to buy a Huawei Mate 20 Pro on eBay just for sheer curiosity.
