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.

    1. yes im on ios8. i can connect phone and make calls from the touch 2 but cant make text or receive them

      kind regards

      matthew

  2. I have a Samsung galaxy s5 and an Aygo Xclusiv. The phone has paired ok but my phone book has not transferred over. Is the problem the phone,car or is it something I’m doing wrong?

  3. Hi G Green
    Thanks for your post.
    We had to run this past our technical team who have advised that you would need to confirm where the contacts are stored, whether these are on the phone or the Sim card? According to their information it should be a bulk transfer. If the contacts are stored on the Sim then transfer them over to the phone to see if this makes a difference.
    Hope this helps.

  4. Just changed from a 60reg Prius T Spirit to 64reg same. I am hard of hearing and the new voice on SatNav is not clear enough – is it possible to change voices? Also, with the old Prius when there was an instruction it came up as an outline on the HUD, on this Prius it doesn’t. This feature was so useful to me, can it be put back on please. Not really happy at all with SatNav system, seems to have gone back 10 years, is still inaccurate and smaller screen size inexplicable.

  5. Hello Christine
    Thanks for your post.
    Sorry to read your comments regarding your recent change into a new Prius. Taking the points you have raised, the voice is not interchangeable unfortunately but it is possible to adjust the voice volume if this helps. The Heads-up display will only feature satellite navigation prompts within the screen if Touch & Go Pro is fitted to the car. This forms part of the technology pack which is a factory fitted option. If you need any help in terms of clarifying the above then your local Toyota dealer would be happy to help advise further regarding the above. Finally, turning to the specification change in terms of screen size and features, this will be passed back to the product team who look after the Toyota Prius. This will be taken into account during future product reviews.
    We hope this helps clarify but please let us know if you have any other questions.

    1. I have tried the volume at various settings, but if the voice is unclear on one setting it will be unclear on all of them. This is a ‘deaf awareness’ issue I’m afraid. Perhaps the team could bear in mind that 1 in 6 of the population does have some hearing loss and concentrate their efforts on clarity rather than ‘features’. The brochure also needs clarification as it does not make it clear that the HUD is no longer connected to SatNav, rendering it pretty useless.

      If anyone out there has any ideas to help me make use of the SatNav I would be most grateful.

  6. Can a multi-play CD changer or a single CD changer be connected to the Touch Two in a 2014 Yaris? If this is possible do Toyota make a suitable CD or is there an after market unit suitable?

    1. Hi Frank, thank you for taking the time to contact us. Unfortunately we don’t sell a CD player in the Yaris as an approved Toyota accessory. As you mention it may be worth seeking an independent audio specialist for advice. Hope this helps!

    2. Hi, Did you find a supplier for this?

      Has anyone any information on and aftermarket CD unit comatible with the Touch2GO system?

  7. Hello,

    Just like Mr. Miguel G. Sanguino, I’m trying to connect an iPhone usin app radio.
    can you please send some further instructions? Do we use the USB or is it any other connector?

    1. Hello Jessi
      Thanks for your post.
      We ran this past our technical team who have suggested that Bluetooth would be the expected method but we would need more details about which phone you have and your car and satnav details to be able to confirm this for you.
      Let us know.

  8. Hello everyone!
    MirrorLink Technology does not work on Sony Xperia Z1C and 2 TOYOTA TOUCH WITH GO (Highlander 2014).
    ICS has FW 4.3.1L
    Xperia Z1C Android 4.4.4
    Very sad, I hope that Toyota implements the full functionality of its multimedia system, states on the website and in the instructions.

    1. Hi Anton
      Thanks for your post.
      Harder for us to comment regarding a Highlander as this is not a model we sell in the UK market. However we do try to be as clear as possible regarding phone compatibility which is why we make sure this information is on our website.
      Hope this helps.

      1. Hi!
        And how long it takes a team of developers multimedia system to release a patch to support MirrorLink 1.1 / 1.2?

    2. +1 for phonebook sync is not working on an S3 LTE (SGH-I9305) with official android 4.4.4…
      So IMO the Toyota Touch 2 is not compatible with Kitkat… On an older JellyBean 4.3. it works flawlessly.

      I only have touch without the go, but it would be nice to have the phonebook…

  9. I’m trying to upgrade my 4.2.2l s/w to 4.3.0l. I’ve downloaded the zip file and expanded it onto a 32gb FAT32 pendrive but when I insert the pendrive into my car’s USB nothing happens. Any clues?
