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.
I just bought a “Toyota Yaris Lounge” with “Touch and Go 2”.
I have an iPhone 5C.
Can I get my SMS and emails on the “Touch and Go 2” screen ?
If yes, how ?
Thank you for answering me …
Have a good day !
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to contact us. We’ve spoken to our technical department, they recommend trying these few steps: Go to the settings section on your iPhone, click on bluetooth, then Touch and Go and change the show notifications from off to on. Any messages received whilst in the vehicle should now be visible. Do let us know how you get on. We hope this helps!
Hi Guys
I have an intermittent problem with my Touch and go system fitted to my 2014 Hilux, occasionally I get a loud click through the speakers – like a loose switch being turned off/on, the same thing was happening to one of my colleagues Hilux.
Is this a known fault?
Can Toyota access any diagnostics on the touch and go?
Cheers
Hi
I bought new corolla and I would like to use mirrorlink. On your list of compatible phones is missing NOKIA N9 but on nokia ovi.store you can download Nokia Car Mode with Mirrorlink only for NOKIA N9. Can you help me with this? I am from Czech republic.
Thanks
Miro
Hi Miro, thank you for taking the time to contact us. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your MirrorLink system. It may depend on what software version your MirrorLink has. In the UK we have MirrorLink version 1.0, which means it’s not compatible with Nokia N9. The list of compatible phones for your Corolla can be found here: http://www.toyota-europe.com/service-and-accessories/my-toyota/bluetooth-compatibility.json. We recommend contacting your local Toyota dealer as they’ll be able to advise further: http://www.toyota-europe.com. We hope this helps.
Hi Alain, sorry to hear you’re having problems with your Touch and Go system. We’re unable to access diagnostics on your Touch and Go unit however, we recommend visiting your local Toyota dealer as they’ll be able to help diagnose this first hand. To find your local Toyota dealers contact details visit: https://www.toyota.co.uk/find-a-dealer. Do let us know how you get on.
Thanks
It seems there is also problem on NOKIA site.
Miro
Hi. Thanks for getting in contact with us. Can you confirm with us that the system worked before you upgraded your phone software? The Toyota Touch system in your car has not changed so it would appear that the update for your phone may have affected the compatibility.
Hi,
I did not upgade my phone. It was already with 4.4.4 android. Its a brand new car. We have tested it with another phone with android 3.4 it works flawlessly.
I think the same, it may be an issue with compatibility of Touch 2 with android 4.4.4.
Is it possible to update the software in my Touch 2?
Hi Galus
Thanks for your reply.
We would recommend that you pop by your local Toyota dealer who could check this for you about which version you have and whether a newer version is available. As a general guide there are two upgrades per year.
Hope this helps.
Already did that 2 weeks ago, no answer so far .
But hey, after rooting my phone everything works flawlessly.
I have a new Verso with Touch 2 and a Nexus 5 phone. I do not want the Touch system to display my SMS messages. Can I turn off just this feature? If so how.
Hi TimS
Thanks for your post.
We have run this past our technical team who have provided the following advice
1. Open your device’s Settings menu
2. Under “Device”, touch Sound & notification
3. Under “Notification”, touch When device is locked. You can choose from the following settings:
Show all notification content: You’ll get all notifications on the lock screen, except for apps that you designate as having sensitive notifications in the “App notifications” setting menu. When you have this setting turned on, keep in mind that all content (including contents of incoming emails and chats) will be visible on your lock screen.
Hide sensitive notification content: You’ll get notifications on the lock screen but the content won’t be available or it will say “Contents hidden” for notifications that you designate as sensitive. For example, you’ll get a notification for an incoming email or chat, but the contents won’t be visible on your lock screen.
Don’t show notifications at all: You won’t get any notifications on the lock screen.
Hi!
My new Auris Hybrid Excel 2014 was just delivered, and I discovered that the Voice Recognition system does not work.
Reading throught this forum, I realised that I need “Touch 2 with Go Plus” in order for that to work, whereas I only have “Touch 2 with Go”.
How can I upgrade from “Touch 2 with Go” to “Touch 2 with Go Plus”, and at what cost?
Thank you!
Carmine
Hello Carmine
Thanks for your post.
Great to hear about your new Auris and you are correct about the voice activation button on the wheel. Our accessories team are currently working on an upgrade regarding the Touch 2 with Go system to incorporate the Plus feature. We hope to have news fairly soon regarding this but once completed your local dealer will be able to upgrade your Auris for you.
Hi!
Is there any news about this? When will the Plus upgrade for Touch 2 with Go be available?
Thank you!
Dear David,
Is this upgrade already possible by now?
and how can i see if my software is Touch 2 with go or Touch 2 with go plus?
sofware version says 4.3.1 L
Nav: 01011F
If this upgrade is working will it make the button for voice recognition available ?
Thank you,
Hi Sijn
Thanks for your post.
It is possible however I am not too sure for markets outside the UK. We have only in the last month or two introduced this to our market so if your car is older than this, then it is likely you will just have Touch 2 with Go. Touch 2 with Go Plus does mean that you can use the voice activation button on the steering wheel and there is an extra cost for this of £1,299 (in the UK). The voice activation button will not work if only Touch 2 is fitted to your car.
Do you know what the price of this update is more or less?
Hello Stijn
In the UK if you have Touch 2 with Go and want to upgrade to Touch 2 with Go Plus then the cost is £950. Hope this helps but it may be worth checking this with your local Toyota dealer if you are based outside the UK.
Hi there, I have an Auris from 11-2013. Is it possible to upgrade my touch and go pro system to touch 2 and go?
Hi Tom
Thanks for your post.
Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade from Touch & Go to Touch 2 as the two systems are not compatible. Hope this helps clarify but let us know if you have any further questions.
