The Aerobits idME+ is a Bluetooth Remote ID module with its own multi-GNSS receiver and a barometric sensor. It works independently of the autopilot: it determines position and altitude itself and needs no interface to the flight controller. That suits drones where little can be changed, and retrofits.
The module transmits over Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.2 (BLE) at up to +18 dBm, about 63 mW. It weighs 6 g without a cable and runs on 5 V from the aircraft; there is no battery. It therefore works only while the drone is switched on and does not transmit when the aircraft is off. The barometer provides the altitude that Remote ID has to send alongside position.
In the EU a module must transmit to ASD-STAN EN 4709-002 and carry an EU declaration of conformity; ASTM F3411-19 is the US standard. FCC and EASA are named, and CE marking is pending. The duty to run direct remote identification applies to classes C1, C2, C3, C5 and C6 and, in the specific category, since 01.01.2024; the module has to accept the operator registration number.
When choosing, think about where the antenna can sit: GNSS and Bluetooth need a clear view upwards and outwards, not under carbon fibre or right next to video transmitters. A module with its own position suffers from poor GNSS reception inside the fuselage, and a cold start takes longer there. Wait for the fix before take-off, and keep the firmware current.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
