From what I've read and found online, it seems that onboard recording with the original full size air units does not currently work if using them with the DJI goggles 2.

Can anybody confirm if this is still true, or if there have been any updates from DJI yet to fix this?

No, onboard recording from an OG (V1) Air Unit still isn't supported when the latest V01.01.00.00 firmware is installed on it to allow it to be used with the DJI Goggles 2.

The latest V01.01.00.00 firmware for the OG Air Unit and Caddx Vista / Runcam Link was last released over a year ago back in December 2022, and with the OG Air Unit now out of production, plus new goggles about to be released in the coming months, I wouldn't put any hope in DJI ever going back and fixing / re-enabling that feature. If you want recording capabilities on the OG Air Units you will have to flash them back to the V01.00.06.08 firmware and use them with some DJI FPV Goggles V1 / V2.

Interesting, thanks.  That is unfortunate though, as the onboard 1080p recording is really nice to have on the air unit.  I was hoping that by now there would have been an update/fix.

I didn't know there was already another new DJI goggles in the works.  That seems so soon after goggles 2 came out.  That probably explains why prices recently went down a little on the goggles 2 on some vendors.

For reference, the latest release notes for the original DJI FPV System hardware and firmware can be found on the web page linked to below. You can see that the latest version is still the V01.01.00.00 firmware from 8th December 2022 and the very first line of the release notes for that firmware explicitly states the following:

• Added support to use with DJl Goggles 2 (recording from the air unit is currently not supported).

I also found a recent post on the DJI forum from September last year that still confirms the same...

Whenever DJI drop the price on a product it's usually a sure sign that a new product is just around the corner. They will be releasing the new goggles along with a new Avata 2 drone some time in the quite near future. The new goggles are going to be similar to the DJI Goggles 2 but will have some cameras in the front for pass-through viewing of your surroundings without you having to lift the goggles from your face. The main reason for new goggles is because the original DJI P1/S1 chipset used in the DJI Goggles 2 and DJI Goggles Integra is now out of production so DJI needed to design some new goggles to make use of the newer DJI P2/S2 chipset which also supports the O4 air unit technology that will be in the Avata 2. Other than the pass-through camera, not much else is known about them at present, and it's unclear at this point if DJI are going to make the new goggles backward compatible with the OG Air Units and Caddx Vista / Runcam Link.
