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.
Hello,
I had a look at Touch 2 system in Verso, mainly at it’s multimedia functionality.
I wasn’t able to find a way to fast forward in long podcast (approx. 1 hour long) in reasonable way, neither to move to a specific time (e.g. to start listening at some point, e.g. at about minute 30).
I was also “trying” to find an easy way to change the folder with music (there are approx. 30 albums on my usb stick). But I found only browse button, nothing like long press of “^” on steering wheel worked. It seems too complicated to operate it this way while driving.
Any ideas how to accomplish fast forward and album change in reasonable way?
Thanks.
Hi Pablo
Thanks for your post and we have run this past our technical team. They have recommended checking this with your local Toyota dealer so you can demonstrate this issue to them. They can help make sure that the vehicle is working to specification and go through the vehicle controls with you.
David still no response to my question on October 12 regarding DAB text scrolling any updates?
Hi Chris
Thanks for your post and sorry for the delay in getting back in touch.
Our technical team have been looking at this but at this stage they are having to check whether it is the car or whether it is due to an intermittent DAB signal to the car. Can we ask which radio station you listen to? We are assuming you will see scrolling some days and not on others. We are doing what we can and our tech team are in consultation with our European HQ about this.
Hi Dave , the scrolling does not work on any DAB station either bbc or independent, however FM scrolling works, also on two occasions the scrolling on DAB has kicked in but on changing channel has stopped again, on the last occasion the media system seemed to freeze and black screen and when it resumed scrolling worked! I can only assume this is a firmware issue not a resection problem. Thanks for your time
Thank you for the reply Chris.
I will pass this back to our technical team. They will undertake some further testing.
Hi
I have tried to connect a Samsung Galaxy S3 to mirrorlink in my Yaris. But absolutely nothing happened. I did use the Drive link app in Samsung. Do you have any detailed way how to make the Mirrorlink work. I plugged the phone through the standard USB cable. Can you help. I did not turn the phones hot spot on – is that neccesary for it to work?
Hello Frank
Sorry for the delay in responding to this and we have just replied to your other post. To answer your question you do not need to turn on the phone hotspot for this to work.
Keep us posted on how you get on.
Hi
Do you have a detailed guide on how to connect the Galaxa S3 to Yaris Mirrorlink. I have triied to connect the phone with the Drive Link app throug the standard USB cable But I cannot get any connection from the phone to the screen. I must do something wrong. It is a new Yaris bought in the start of feb. 2015 with Touch 2. Does it only Work with Touch 2 GO?
Hope you can find time to answer me?
Hello Frank
Thanks for your post and we did have a quick chat with our technical team.
From what you have described this should be working for you and they have suggested to try using another USB lead if you have access to one. The other option would be to contact your local Toyota dealer to demonstrate this. To answer your other questions though, Mirrorlink does work both with Touch 2 and Touch 2 with Go. Let us know how you get on.
Thanks for your anser. Do I need to turn the phones hot spot on for it to work?
I listen to planet rock mostly (which is a strong national station) but it affects them all. Its not just that it doesn’t scroll but it only displays part of the text I.e when listening to something on DAB it displays ‘ now playing Jim’ but on FM it shows ‘now playing Jimmy hendrix’ even when text scrolling is turned off.
Hello Frank
No. You do not need to turn on the phone hotspot for this.
Hope this helps.
Hi Pomplemoose
Thanks for your further feedback.
We will pass this to the technical team for further investigation.
