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.
Hi Rich
Thanks for your post.
We have checked this with our technical team and there could be a few issues causing this. Are you using a blank USB? They recommend trying another but remember is has to be 8 GB minimum and you are correctly formatting to FAT32. Also, is it from the my.toyota.eu website?
Let us know how you get on and keep us posted.
I repeated the whole process again from start with the same result. However, not overly trusting Windows 8, I repeated it on an old netbook running XP. Bingo! Worked perfectly, don’t ask me why. New map and software now installed successfully.
Cheers.
Hello,
I’m using an iPhone 6. I’ve tried both bluetooth and AUX.
The system recognized the app but only audio was played.

Hi Jessi
Thanks for your post and sorry for the delay in replying.
We did run this past our technical team. Without knowing your expectations they have advised that all the system will do is recognise the app and plays the audio. The vehicle will be play what the app is playing and say where it is coming from – this is displayed as the album / artist, or if the app doesn’t support these will be unknown and the track title will show the app name. As the app takes it’s control via the inbuilt controls of the app and not from the controls standard on the device – these will not work with the vehicle controls. For example – playing audio from BBC News App – the system will show BBC news and what is playing but you cannot navigate to the next track on BBC news.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions
Hello,
Re my Touch 2 with Go, I am unable to set the audio volume (voice directions) on the sat. nav., independently from the audio volume of the radio.
I am able to turn the radio off and have only the sat. nav., voice instructions but when both are switched on one is always very much louder than the other?
I have searched the online documentation/videos/FQAs etc. but I can’t find any reference to these controls.
Could someone please help?
Regards,
Peter Lee
Hello Peter
Thanks for your post.
If you click on the Settings Button and then go to General you should then see a volume control setting which allows you to set these levels independently including incoming and outgoing phone calls.
Let us know how you get on and whether you have any other questions.
Hello,
is it possible to use mirrorlink in Touch 2 (without Go)?
Hi VK
Thanks for your post.
It is possible to use Mirrorlink with Touch 2 only provided you have a compatible phone and relevant app. You can check out the list via our website and this link will take you straight there. http://www.toyota.co.uk/owners-info/touch-and-go
Hope this helps.
Do the new Up dated Yaris icon have a CD player I get one on Saturday
Hello Fred
Thanks for your post.
We have checked and none of the new Yaris have a CD player fitted. They have MP3/iPod capability instead.
Hope this helps.
Hi
How come the iphone6 can send texts from touch2 but the iphone6 can’t?
Hello Matthew
Thanks for your post.
Do you mean iPhone 5? We have run this past technical but not so easy to answer this, the reason is that would be down to the individual settings of the phone and the phone provider as the car system will not have changed. Check the settings on the phone though to allow for visibility of texts.
Hi there, I finally got Touch 2 with Go + for my 2014 Rav 4. Hurrah! But I’m confused by a couple of things.
1. The “play more like this” feature doesn’t work
2. When I want to play music via voice command, it tells me to “be patient” – that the device is “syncing.” I’m using an iPhone 5S via USB. I thought this might last a few minutes, but it was still refusing me 40 minutes into a drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Derek
Hi Derek. Thanks for getting in touch. We’re sorry to hear of the issues regarding your system. What is happening when you select the ‘play more like this’ feature?
The issue with the ‘play music by voice command’ feature is that if you are connecting an iPhone it will generally have a lot of music on it. In order for the system to to be able to search using this feature it needs to look at each file and assign a ‘tag’ so it knows that if you say a title of a track it can go to that track. This would explain the ‘be patient’ notification you are getting. Large storage devices take a very long time to compile and therefore it is better to manual search when using those.
Hi Matt
Thanks for coming back so quickly.
The music symbol for the “play more like this” function is “greyed-out”, so it has no response to a press. I wondered was there something in settings that I needed to do to fix this, but I can’t see anything.
Could you tell me if the tagging will take place each time I start the car, or is it a once off event?
Many thanks
Derek
