Kdc-bt558u Will Not Bluetooth Connect With My Iphone 6

no matter what I do, update Pandora app, reset Kenwood car stereo,.....when I try to use the Bluetooth connection with my iphone 6 I get the "check device" message every time. When the stereo was first installed it worked but I started using the usb port because it would charge my phone at the same time. It no longer recognizes my phone no matter what I do
