Rooted! Thinking About Un Rooting And Updating to 4.4.2! Did Not Trip Knox! Help?

I have rooted my Sprint Note 3 a few times now without tripping KNOX. I am currently rooted and thinking about un-rooting and going back to stock via update of KitKat 4.4.2.

I have un-rooted without tripping KNOX either.

My main reason I want to do this is because I got a new car stereo that has Bluetooth audio and voice. Everything works perfectly and connects excepts that sometimes while listening to music something cuts out for like a split second. The phone is right next to the car stereo.

The car stereo unit is the Jensen VX4010

Sprint Note 3

I do not think the Jensen VX4010 has a bios update or will ever.

The only think I can think of is that the Bluetooth software on 4.3 is a little dated.

If I update to the latest Android software I am thinking this might fix the issue. I think the latest android update has Bluetooth AVRCP and 4.3 does not. I could be wrong.

Options:

1. Do you think this is a possible problem?

2. Has Google fixed all the problems with KitKat or is it still a nightmare? Like Battery Drain issues?

3. Should I just wait and deal with this Bluetooth issue?

4. Is there a way to just update to the latest Bluetooth technology and just stick with 4.3?

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your comments.

Ill be pretty straight forward here..

Jensen is known for budget low cost ( low feature) equipment in the car audio world. Its not total junk and its gotten alot better in recent years compared to how they were before Audiovox bought them out, but you get what you pay for. That head unit retails for around $240 compared to other brands that start at $350-400. You sacrifice features and build quality. ( its like comparing your Galaxy Note 3 to a galaxy S2 Mini)

The clipping you are getting I will put money on is your deck.

I don't think updating your phone will improve it, I would test another device and see if you can duplicate the cutting out.. And also try connecting to a different bluetooth device on your Note 3 and see if you experience it.. then you can rule out if its the deck or the phone.

My money is on the deck though as the problem.

Closest thing I can find that may give you hope. Most definitely an issue for those enjoying this feature, but looks that the update fixed the issue...

Next Post: Mine Again

Not that I think of it. I have paired this in a Scion before and this never happened. and I have paired it with a JBL Charge and played Disc Golf for hours without a single hiccup.

So it must be the deck. Or bad connection between Android and Jensen VX4010.

Please advice because if this is true I am going back to the place where I got it installed and return it and get a pioneer. This is going to be a major hassle and I am sure they are going to give me a hard time but will do it.

Ok I have read the thread. Not seeing an exact correction but it does appear that if you update it will run better. Do you know if the blue tooth will drain battery or if they fixed the battery drain because once I update I can not go back unless something new has come out since last time I checked.

Please advise and read above post because I will be in a major jam tomorrow in order to return my stereo unit and or upgrade to 4.4.2 permanently and I never really had to in the first place.

End of line:

Please help! 911! I do not want to upgrade to 4.4.2 if I do not have to because it is permanent and I have heard that it has so many issues like battery drain.

Plus i do like this deck because of front USB and AUX inputs. But if I have to i will trade up for a Pioneer that will not have this issue. But it will be an extreme pain to return this tomorrow.

Please advise.
