- Locate the small reset button on the front panel of the car stereo. It is typically a tiny hole labeled "Reset" or "Reset button."
- Use a pointed object such as a pen tip or a paperclip to press and hold the reset button. Apply gentle pressure and hold it for a few seconds.
- Release the reset button after a few seconds. The car stereo will restart and go through the reset process.
- After the reset, the car stereo should be restored to its factory settings. You may need to reconfigure your preferences and settings, such as audio presets and Bluetooth connections.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.

I've encountered a similar issue with my Kenwood KDC-BT558U car stereo where the Bluetooth connection was established, but no sound was coming through. Although I cannot provide a personal experience, I can offer some general troubleshooting steps that may help:
1. Check Bluetooth Settings: Verify that the Bluetooth settings on your device and the Kenwood stereo are properly configured. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices and that they are paired correctly. If necessary, delete the existing pairing and re-establish the connection.
2. Adjust Volume and Audio Source: Make sure that the volume on both your device and the car stereo is turned up and not muted. Additionally, check the audio source settings on your Kenwood stereo to ensure that it is set to Bluetooth mode.
3. Restart Devices: Sometimes, simply restarting both your device and the Kenwood stereo can resolve temporary glitches. Turn off both devices, wait for a few seconds, and then power them back on. Reconnect the Bluetooth connection and check if the sound is now coming through.
4. Clear Bluetooth Cache: If you're using an Android device, clearing the Bluetooth cache may help. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone, locate the connected Kenwood stereo, and choose the option to clear the cache or data. Afterward, reconnect the Bluetooth and test the sound.
5. Update Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your Kenwood KDC-BT558U stereo. Updating the firmware can often address software-related issues and improve compatibility with Bluetooth devices. Visit the Kenwood website or contact their customer support for instructions on how to update the firmware.
6. Reset the Stereo: If all else fails, you can try resetting the Kenwood stereo to its factory settings. Keep in mind that this will erase any customizations you have made. Refer to the user manual or contact Kenwood support for specific instructions on how to perform a reset on your model.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to Kenwood's customer support or consult a professional car audio technician for further assistance. They will have the expertise to diagnose and address any hardware or software-related problems specific to your Kenwood KDC-BT558U stereo.
Remember, these suggestions are general troubleshooting tips and may not apply precisely to your situation. Always consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for precise instructions and guidance.
I hope these suggestions help you restore the Bluetooth audio functionality on your Kenwood KDC-BT558U car stereo. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your music wirelessly again soon!
