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 went to a local dealer, but my questions were too technical for them, so no real answer to my questions. According to them other people stream music from phones and don’t use USB sticks.
Still I don’t understand why basic audio system has better “usability” from driving safety point of view than the advanced touch system (basic system enables to change folder from steering wheel, advanced one has this feature hidden in touch menus).
Please forward this to your technical team, maybe they can come up with a solution to this.
Regards, Pavel

Hi!
Will Touch 2 with Go support Mirrorlink 1.1 with a software update?
All the latest phones support it (Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5 with Lollipop, HTC M8), but at the moment we can’t use them with the Touch 2 with Go, as it only supports MirrorLink 1.0.
Hello Carmine
Thank you for your post and sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one.
We did run this past our technical team and it may be difficult to provide a conclusive answer as we will not be aware of what changes that will be made to the later software. Touch 2 supports Mirrorlink but the implications of downloading the update and what effect this will have, is not so easy for us to comment on. It may be worth checking on the Mirrorlink website for any updates. Thank you for raising this with us and we will be sure to post any updates on our Blog.
Hi, I just bought a Rav 4 2014, thought it had sat nav as I seen this on the main display unit. But when I press button it confirms my Rav 4 icon don’t have sat nav installed. How much does it cost to upgrade?
Hi Pat
Thanks for your post. Hope you are enjoying your new RAV4.
To upgrade your unit (which will be our Touch & Go system) your local Toyota dealer will be able to help with a quote and can also help advise with a quick demonstration if you wanted to check this our beforehand. If you need a guide as an example then to upgrade a RAV4 today with Touch 2 with Go (different system) then the cost would be £750.
Hope this helps clarify but let us know if you have any other questions.
We have just returned home very happy with the purchase of a 2012 Yaris. We believed the car had sat nav fitted , what with the touch screen and the sat nav button on it which when i pressed it said device need registering, Gutted though to find out that the now we are home the sat nav button says system not installed. I know i only have myself to blame for allowing myself to be mislead without getting it confirmed it was fitted. My wife is very upset as this was one reason for choosing this car. How much will it cost me to add this to the setup?
Hello Dave
Thanks for your post.
Sorry to read of your disappointment with collecting your new Yaris. You can add the “Go” (satnav element) to your vehicle and your local Toyota dealer will be able to do this for you. You will however need to contact them for a quote directly as your system is call Toyota Touch. When you add Satnav it becomes Toyota Touch & Go. Your local dealer will also be able to help show you system as well as giving you a quick demonstration if this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
I’ve still not had a reply. Is there any update?
Hi Pomplemoose
No update at the moment unfortunately but we can refer your case to our customer relations team who can create a case and monitor this for you?
Just let us know and we can contact you directly.
I have just got new aurus was trying to mirror link but it wont let me ? It works with old s3 but nit with s5 can you help me please thanks.
Hi Mausam
Thanks for your post.
Mirrorlink does only work with selected phones and it may be worth checking the compatibility on their website. We also provide a look-up facility regarding what features will work with different phones and you can access this via the attached link.

Hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
I’m so so sad that Sony Z3 is not compatible (I’ve buy that phone just for mirrorlink). Is there a way to let the me choose to enable the use of mirrorlink on the car also if it’s “distracting”? Sorry, I don’t get the point of distraction when I can choose to use the phone itself :S
Hi Sandro
Thanks for your post and sorry to hear about your phone compatibility issue.
This issue is to prevent certain features being accessed if we believe it will be distracting to the driver. We can understand your disappointment but the reason is down to one of safety. Sorry that we cannot provide a more positive response to your query.
