  1. Hello!

    We just bought a brand new Toyota Yaris 2013 and though it has a Toyota Touch system, I’m not sure if it has maps and all the other functions standard. Do I need to pay separately for them or are those included with every new car? I can’t check, since our car is not yet delivered :-).

    1. Hi Chris
      Thanks for your post.
      Good to hear about your new Yaris. Just to clarify Toyota Touch does not include sat nav, you need to have Toyota Touch & Go for this. If you talk to your dealer they will be able to discuss upgrading the system for you.
      Hope this helps.

  2. Why does it take so long to add a trip via Touch and Go Customer Portal?

    I have recently, at different times, added and saved an intended destination but it takes around 24 hours before added to the list and therefore available to send to the car – by which time both trips had been completed!

    1. Hi Richard
      Thanks for your post.
      Have just run your query past our technical team. The trip should be available straight as they have just tried this on their own account. They have recommended double checking the FAQ section on the customer portal which is accessed via the question mark in the top right of the screen. Please let us know how you get on as happy to help further.

  3. The more I look at my new Touch and Go Plus the more I’m disappointed. The system is not totally integrated – the sat-nav, radio, and other features are independent products boxed together and do not inter-operate with each other fully. The voice recognition system is does not function properly for at least 5 minutes – if your lucky and then it is flaky. The integration of this system is a joke – shame on Toyota.

    My dealership has very little product knowledge of the Touch and Go Plus system. They look to me like ungifted amateurs when I have asked about the system performance. The User documentation is practically non-existent. They were unable to carryout any comparative tests so that we could look at my systems performance against another – very disappointed with the hassle received.

    Toyota what has happened to your credibility for high-class electronic equipment specifications.

    1. Hi Lawrence
      Thanks for your post and feedback on Touch & Go.
      We are sorry to learn of your disappointment and would be happy to help you regarding any specific questions you may have regarding the system operation if you want to send them through to us. We can also put you in touch with a member of our customer service team if you wanted to speak to someone directly about this. In the meantime we will be running your comments past our product team responsible for Touch & Go.

  4. I have a 2011 Toyota AvensisTR2 est. (no owners hand book) What system, Toyota Touch or Touch and Go does my vehicle use?

    1. Hello James
      To help identify your system, Toyota Touch is just a multimedia system whereas Touch & Go adds full map navigation, Bluetooth (and other features) to this. Toyota Touch & Go Plus adds more features including the voice recognition function. It is possible to upgrade your system (depending what you have) so we would recommend taking your car yo your local Toyota dealer who would be able to confirm the specification for you and advise you of your options.
      Hope this helps.

  5. Dear David,

    What planet are the Technical Team on? The FAQs are absolutely no help to my query!

    I certainly would have expected my “New Trip” to be instantly available once it is “Saved” but it is not. I have tried logging in and out several times to no avail as it just does not appear until many, many hours later e.g. up to 24 hours as mentioned. Absolutely no use as cannot be sent to my car until it is listed.

    As mentioned by Lawrence Tucker the Touch & Go is very disappointing in its functionality and should be much better from such a company as Toyota. I recently drove an Audi car and its similar system was far superior. There is so much potential available from a properly working system.

    1. Hi Richard
      Thanks for your post and sorry that the FAQs have not helped.
      We can put you in touch with our customer relations team if it helps in terms of taking this matter further? They would work with your local dealer to help get this matter resolved. I have attached a link for the contact page http://bit.ly/bO71f4 but let us know.

  7. Hi
    could anyone please tell me how to set Toyota Touch and Go such that when my phone (Blackberry Q10) connects via bluetooth for calls it DOES NOT also automatically connect for music, hijack the audio and start streaming music from my phone when I am listening to radio? I was unable to figure out how to do that.
    Of course I figured in Setup/Bluetooth/Paired devices I can disconnect phone for music manually, but Touch and Go does not remember this setting and next time I turn on the car it connects for music again…
    Any help would be greatly appreciated…
    Thanks!

    Ondrej

    1. Hello Ondrej
      Thanks for your post.
      This is due to a compatibility issue with the phone and there isn’t currently a way to stop it defaulting to Bluetooth audio. We are however working on a countermeasure with our European office but no news at this stage unfortunately.

  8. Hi I have just bought 2007 toyota aygo automatic 38000 miles on lovely car but it seems to struggle at picking up speed when I drive. I have to really push down on gas at times to get the right speed. As I have had no problems with other automatics I have drove with 1.0 engine.

    1. Hello Miriam
      Thanks for your post.
      Sorry to hear about your car and we would recommend getting in touch with your local dealer for them to check this out for you. If you click on this link it will help find your nearest one. http://bit.ly/16WmR5P
      Hope this helps.
