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.

Toyota Touch 2 with Go Plus
When upgraded to Touch 2 with Go Plus, the touch-screen multimedia system comes equipped with 3D city models, landmark graphics and a ‘text-to-speech’ message readout facility.
The system will display emails and calendars depending on Bluetooth mobile phone compatibility. It also features a ‘Play More like This’ function. 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.
What version is then compatible because this is disappointing that sony is not compatible. And hundrend 100% is with mirrorlink ;-(
What also bizarre and other user have a older sony and this work
I’m 🙁 This because for molecurity that I buy this phone Sony z3 for manage Spotify without taking my phone in my hand when driving
Thanks for your reply Kerry.
I have tried all the options and often there is not a choice between the Fast, Short and Eco but no matter what I select the system always finds roads that are not good for travel (private and bridleways).
It looks as though I will have to live with the faults and buy a stand alone system that does give me the option of missing very minor roads and is able to have a greater accuracy on POI’s
Hello Geoff
Thank you for your reply.
We are very sorry to hear of the difficulties you are experiencing and it would be very useful for us to see a screen grab image or route list showing from point A to point B. We can then run this past our technical team to investigate this further and try to get to the bottom of this for you. I will send you a direct email to help enable you to do this.
Sorry again about all the problems you have had and we will try and help to provide some further answers.
I am trying to download the estore app so I can download over the internet direct. I also had a software update to do to the latest but I notice that it is no longer available on the portal store. I have tried loads of different ways but it just won’t recognise there is an update on usb there.
Hi Mike
We are checking this with technical but we suspect that estore is already loaded into cars with Touch 2 in the UK market and you should therefore be able to scroll through the available Apps. We are working to replicate this though. With regard to the latest map update, you can check which version you have in your car but the very latest is 4.3.0 (or 4.3.1 they are the same) 2014 V2.
Estore is not preloaded on mine. It comes with weather, water cup, panaranama. My portal say I should be able to download estore to get Twitter and other etc. I will download an update to 4.3 and see if that works.
It doesn’t seem to be downloaded. I have the weather, parking, glass of water which were preloaded. I have no mention of estore or ones that I could possibly download.
Hi Mike
Are you able to scroll through 3 or 4 pages here? Our tech team have also asked which version satnav you have so we can try and pin this down a bit further for you.
I have 3 pages to scroll through. The software version is 4.2.2L and the map 2014v1.
Hi Miguel
Thanks for your reply and we have checked this further with our technical team.
We are sorry to have to confirm that Sony phones and Mirrorlink are not compatible on Touch 2 due to the features on the phone. Mirrorlink will only work with certain Samsung, iPhone and Nokia phones.
We are sorry that our reply cannot be more positive.

Hi,
MirrorLink web page shows a full list of devices in where you can see all Sony devices compatible with mirrorlink.
As commented on this thread I can read that Toyota touch2 si compatible with a subset of those Mirrorlink ready smartphone devices (as Sony devices are ruled out on purpose).
Is there any way to check witch are the actual compatible devices with toyota touch2 to be able to connect them via mirrorlink?
I have just bought a Toyota Auris 2014 and I want to renew my phone to a compatible one.
Thanks,
Hello Hades
Thanks for your post and great to hear about your new Auris.
We did run this past our technical team. The list of current compatible phones we have are as follows:
Samsung Galaxy S3 & Note 2 with the Drive Link app downloaded.
Nokia 700, 701, 604, 808, N9, N8, E7 C7 X7 C6-01 with the Car Mode app downloaded.
However it is always worth double checking this with the phone manufacturer and Mirrorlink directly because any phone software changes are beyond our control.
Hope this helps but let us know if you have any other questions.
Hello, ihave also same issue, i have both Lg g3 and iphone 5s and want to share screen using mirrorlink. but there is no connectivity between phones and touch 2 device. how can i use my smart phone screen using touch 2 screen
Thanks for your fast reply,
It helps a lot, now I have a clear picture of the compatible devices. Although it is quiet poor and old on Android smartphones.
Is there any plan to include more Android devices?, maybe new Samsung Galaxy S4 mini? That is listed at mirrolink webpage as compatible with Mirrorlink 1.1.
Also, which version of Mirrorlink implements touch2 (1.0 or 1.1)?
Thanks!!
Hello Hades
Thanks for your reply.
Take on board the point you raise about the phones, from our perspective it would be good to include as many phones as possible in terms of compatibility. Sometimes this decision rests with the manufacturer of the phone in terms of specification and sometimes this rests with ourselves so not always that straightforward. To answer your question though, Touch 2 is Mirrorlink 1.0 only.
Hope this helps but let us know if you have any further questions.
Hello again,
Thanks for the reply. I tried the Appincar, I follow the instructions, but it doesn’t works.
Can you send me a video or something that can help to make it works?
Thanks!
