@mfellows Did you have any luck solving this problem? I have the same issue, the (brand new) KILO3000BDX, in ABX mode, connects to the (brand new) Garmin watch but will not insert the measured range into the AB-E application's RNG field. Both have latest updates. I have emailed AB this weekend and am waiting to hear back. I hope @DocUSMCRetired or @Garmin can reply here so the solution is available for others with the same issue.
See if your answer is in here


In addition we have reps here in the forum. @Garmin or @DocUSMCRetired might also be helpful
That's where I started first but there is no real help for this issue in that thread.
 
No resolve at this time Sig Sauer has my Bino's for around 3weeks now they said its a problem in their software and they are getting with Garmin. Garmin sent me a new watch because they thought it was the watch. I think all 3 companies jumped the gun on release. Garmin has specific instructions on pairing with the KILO3000 so i got nothing so far waiting on sig.

Thank you for the follow-up. I've been emailing with @DocUSMCRetired today (awesome to have someone with knowledge to work with!), but we haven't found the magic combination, yet. I'll let you know if we stumble onto something that works!
 
No resolution yet despite spending quite a bit of time with support at all three companies. Applied Ballistics can't reproduce the problem, so despite trying it is difficult for them to help. Garmin and Sig are "escalating" the issue, and I am "on the notification list" once a solution is found.

Have you got any news regarding the sig kilo 3000?
Just got mine, and I can't even connect to either garmin device. I have tried both tactic delta ab and garmin 701. I put the kilo 3000 in ABX mode, and when I search for new/ab device, it comes up blank (no device found).

Any tips or ideas is greatly appreciated. The firing system has a lot of potential, a shame that it seems off in the connectivity..
 
I hear your pain! Unfortunately, I have not heard anything further from any of the three companies.

After spending way too much of my own time on this, it became clear that the manufacturers were unable to resolve the issue. I returned both the watch and rangefinder for credit while I was still inside the sellers' 30-day return windows.

I liked the rangefinder and had debated keeping it - even though the only reason I selected this model was to use with AB Elite in the watch. Instead, being a glutton for punishment, I've pre-ordered a Kilo10K ABS which will integrate all functions, and then some, into one device. I'm guardedly optimistic that this time it will meet the hype.

The range and the built in solver is exactly the same reason I ordered a K10K. As much as I like Kestrels, I would rather remove one more potential failure point, if possible, and I prefer other watches, as well. Hopefully it pans out for both of us!
 
Where are you guys ordering the Kilo10K ABS? I would also like to upgraded to a one device solution. If it isn’t to crass, how much is the cost?
MAP is $2000, MSRP is $2600 according to the sell sheet that’s all over the internet. Call around and see what you can do. There’s a few vendors that will let you preorder, CameralandNY and Eurooptic I believe have them up.

Last I heard was that Garmin blames Sig on the issue. Sig blames Garmin, so none of them seems to have a great deal of interest in solving the issue. Hope the Kilo10K works out for you guys.
 
I wouldn’t touch anything to do with Garmin with a 10’ barge pole. Shit company with shit support.
Their update fried my motorcycle GPS and their response was to offer to sell me another overpriced piece of shit at a slight discount. Assholes.
