The invention relates to a multi-connected air conditioning unit and a remote upgrading method thereof. The multi-connected air conditioning unit remote upgrading method comprises the steps that eachmulti-connected air conditioning unit is remotely upgraded through a GPRS module, the GPRS module adopts an election mechanism in a network, and when the GPRS module is elected, a selected zone bit and upgrading packet data are sent to a bus; and when the GPRS module is not elected, whether a selected zone bit or upgrade package data exists on the bus is judged, if so, the election is not participated in, and if not, the election is participated in. When the GPRS module is used for upgrading the air conditioning unit, the elected GPRS module sends a large amount of upgrade package data to thebus; even if the non-elected GPRS module cannot receive the selected flag bit sent by the bus within the preset time, the selected flag bit cannot be received by the unelected GPRS module; when the GPRS modules are not elected, the GPRS modules receive the upgrading package data sent by the bus, once the GPRS modules which are not elected receive the upgrading package data, it is indicated that one GPRS module is elected under the same project, the GPRS modules do not participate in election, and therefore normal upgrading of the air conditioning unit is guaranteed.
