Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Sony ($299) pre-order from B&H Photo | Amazon
Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Sony gives you a wireless connection with AirTTL lights that controls flash sync, remote control, Auto TTL, and HSS. The transmitter also controls flash sync and remote control in Air lights. There are three settings on the Connect transmitter itself. Auto being the first, takes all the guess work of setting up your flashes. Second, Manual setting if you want to set the flashes yourself and be more creative. The final setting, is to turn it off when the transmitter is not in use.
By downloading the Profoto app and with Bluetooth connection, you can control your lights wirelessly as well and upgrade your firmware later through the app. The Connect works on a frequency of 2.4 GHz and up to eight channels with an operating range of a 1000′ when using it with normal sync flash and remote control, and 330′ with Auto TTL and HSS.

Is there any issues with this and the Sony A9 I have heard of some issues with the older prototo air remote
There are no issues as long as your camera and Air Remote firmware are both up to date.
