Toyota Touch 2
The Toyota Touch 2 system is the latest generation of our basic multimedia system and features some important upgrades.
At the core of improvements are redesigned screens with a deeper, 3D effect for graphics. Image resolution has been improved too, meaning the screen is brighter and images are sharper.
On-screen menus have been redesigned to incorporate key vehicle information including fuel economy and DAB radio function (where available). What’s more, the screen now supports ‘drag and flick’ control for easy, intuitive operation.

Toyota Touch 2 with Go
The Toyota Touch 2 with Go system takes all of the basic function of the Touch 2 device and adds a versatile and detailed satellite navigation system.
As well as offering simple-to-use navigation functions, the system also allows users to tailor the information on offer, to include customisable speed limits, speed camera warnings, automatic zoom, motorway signposting and motorway junction views. The map zoom function is controlled by a simple rotary button at the side of the device.
Advanced traffic coverage, now located on the map itself, takes the form of a ‘traffic bar’ showing the driver any congestion ahead, and how long a delay to expect.
Via the Toyota Online function, the system offers on-board connectivity to an expanded range of services including Toyota Real-Time Traffic powered by TomTom, Google Street View and Panoramio, and Google Local Search –the largest and most up-to-date search database in the world.
The MyToyota customer portal also allows users to plan their journeys online. Destinations can be input remotely from home or office via Google Maps, and Points of Interest (POI) may be downloaded for entry as destinations.
Toyota Online content includes a Touch 2 with Go Apps function which offers several applications, including fuel prices, weather and parking space information.

This smart music recognition system can automatically provide playlist recommendations to suit your mood; a safe and easy way to manage music on the move.
Touch 2 with Go Plus supports Wi-Fi connectivity. Users set up their smartphones as a Wi-Fi hotspot for connection to the system’s online functions.

Hi again (sorry last post got cut off halfway!)
Proud owners of a new yaris hybrid here (2014)
Hi Dave and Steve I have the same issue as this and have checked all the settings to rectify ie making sure text scrolling is ticked. is there a fix for this ? apart from this loving the Yaris.
Hi Chris
Dave must still me checking this out for me 🙂 … I have seen scrolling text (only once) on the day that I paired my mobile with the Touch & Go 2 for internet usage so that I could get the apps to work e.g. petrol prices. It was great !!! I could switch from DAB station to DAB station seeing which song was playing 🙂 However, this did not last as the next time I started the car all was lost and it hasn’t worked since. I wish I’d taken a photo to prove that it works. I haven’t tried unpairing my phone and trying this again. Maybe I should? However, what has internet connection got to do with the DAB signal?
Steve
I am struggling to upload estore onto my touch 2 go system on a 64 reg Hilux. I have downloaded to my computer then extracted to a blank 32 gig Fat 32 usb (so it just shows the folder on the usb). I have plugged into the usb in the Hilux and nothing happens even after 30mins. I have then removed the folder from the USB so it is just the 2 files on their own but still nothing happens. Just to test the usb I have uploaded an mp3 and when I plug this in it plays immediatley.
I only took receipt of the Hilux last week 6th Oct so the software should be okay. On another note when I click to send my settings to my toyota portal it wipes all my settings and removes my phones linked and then on the portal it just says I have yet to send my settings still?
Please help
Hello Mike
Thanks for your post.
This information is with our technical team and they will let us know once they have had the opportunity to investigate. We will keep you posted.
Any updates David. Sorry to bother you but its niggling away at me cause it won’t work?
Was this ever resolved?
I have exactly the same problem on my Auris Hybrid. I have had it for nearly a year and would like to renew the subscription for some of the apps. Unfortunately it appears that this has to be done through eStore in the car. EStore did not appear to be working so I removed it thinking that I could reinstall. I downloaded swdl.zip and extracted the two files within it to a USB stick. When I plugged this into the car nothing happened. The red light on the stick illuminated (so power was getting through) but no installation process started. I tested the usb in the same way as Mike Cowburn with the same result. I have also tried the process with two other USB sticks – but the installation will not start.
Please advise.
Hi Edward, sorry to hear you’re having problems with your Auris. We’ve spoken to our tech team who have advised that the files may not be on the stick correctly. They need to be the only files on the stick and, prior to loading, the stick needs to be formatted to FAT32. If, in the ZIP file, they are in a folder then they need to be in the folder – the contents of the ZIP folder should mirror exactly what is on the stick. If this doesn’t work, also try re-downloading the file because the file may be corrupt. Hope this helps.
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions. I confirm that the sticks I have used have all been formatted to FAT32. I have also tried the zipped files in their containing folder and out of it. I have now downloaded the file four times now. They all show eStore.jar with a compressed size of 2,880 KB and uncompressed as 3,052 KB. The filehash.txt file is 1 KB.
I suspect there is something faulty with the system and have now arranged to call in to the dealers from whom I bought the car for them to have a look.
Hi Edward. Thanks for getting back to us. Let us know how you get on at your local dealer, and if there’s anything else we can do for you. Thank you again.
Hi Toyota
I’m trying to connect my sony xperia z3 via mirrorlink but don’t work at the moment. My phone recognized it’s connected but don’t view anything on my touch and go 2 yaris 2014? Do you need special applications for this or do I something wrong? On the website of mirrorlink they said is compatible with this version of phone.
Hi Stefan
Thanks for your post.
Not good news unfortunately, Sony phones are not compatible using Mirrorlink through our Touch 2 system. The reason for this is the amount of features on the phone, we feel, could present a distraction to the driver which is why we have taken this decision.
Hi Kerry,
Sorry my english, I’m from Spain.
I have the new hybrid yaris since last month.
I see you mention which phones are compatible with MirrorLink . My sony Xperia is one of them, however, I can’t get it to work . The Samsung S3 of a friend connects, but not the Xperia .
I email to Toyota Spain, but they tell me it only works with the s3 and some old nokia phone .
Can you help me to make it work? What can I do? Is there any update to the touch 2? How can I do this?
Thank you very much in advance
Miguel G. Sanguino
Hello Miguel
Thank you for your post. Have you double checked the phone compatibility from our list? If you go to this link and put in which phone and which satnav version you have it will tell you. Let us know how you get on.

Sorry about this Mike. I am chasing and will reply today before close of play.
Hello David,
Thanks for your answer. I’ve tried with my Sony Xperia Z and a friend’s Sony Xperia SP, both are in the link mentioned by Kerry, but I can not get the MirrorLink working with the touch 2.
So, what can i do?
Thank you very much!
Miguel G. Sanguino
Hi David,
I tried to connect an iPhone but I can’t.
How can I do that? Do I require any app installed?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel G. Sanguino
Hello Miguel
An App is required called “Appincar”. Available from the App store. It works as a gateway app and allows basic functions.
Hope this helps
Hi Mike
Sorry again for delay but have been discussing with out tech team.
Taking your first point, uploading estore, is it a specific app that you are trying to download? Can you let us know which one? With regard to the settings, our tech team will need to double check whether there are any that are applicable to save on your My Toyota account. Not all vehicles have the customise features which can be amended. We will keep you posted but let us know more about what you are trying to do with estore.
