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 Matt
I’ve got the same issue as Matthew: the Touch Go+ on the Auris I bought 3 days ago greys out all things text with my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3). The phone part works well but I do need texting (send AND receive).
Could you please help?
Thanks in advance,
Philippe
Hi Anton
Sorry about this. We do not have any news yet regarding updates unfortunately but we will be sure to post them on our Blog when we do.
Hi. Is there any news regarding supporting MirrorLink 1.1? All newer phone models use it.
Are you planning on releasing an update?
Hi Liam

Hi David,
We have just taken delivery of a new RAV4 Invincible and love it. We decided not to get the nav system as the Touch2 has MirrorLink even on the base unit. I have a Sony Xperia Z, listed on the Compatible List as being suitable. A connection cannot be made though; the phone says it is connecting to the head unit but there is no head unit response. Any ideas where I can get support?
Hi Andy
Thanks for your post.
Good to hear about the delivery of your new RAV4.
The Sony phone is compatible for Bluetooth, but not for Mirrorlink unfortunately. The reason is because Sony have not limited what is accessible via Mirrorlink, (for example it would be possible to play a game on your satnav head unit via Mirrorlink whilst driving). Because of this we have had to block all Sony devices for the time being.
Currently the only phones compatible (for Mirrorlink) are:
Samsung – Galaxy S3 and (Note 2 are some issues on this)
Nokia – 700, 701, 603, 808, N9.
Nokia – N8, E7, C7, X7, C6-01 once on Symbian OS 10.1 or later
Sorry that the reply cannot be more positive but hope it helps clarify.
What’s the point to make a brand new car with great touch system compatible only with old phones and not new ones? Really I cannot understand, I’m so disappointed.
Hello Sandro

Hope this helps clarify a bit further but if you have any other questions regarding this or need further assistance please let us know.
What does Bluetooth have to do with anything? We’re talking about MirrorLink here…
Hi Carmine
Is your query still about when Touch 2 gets the Mirrorlink 1.1 upgrade? If so no news about this at present but we are chasing. If anything else please let me know.
Hi I have a brand new Auris hybrid excel with touch and go plus, when I press the voice button on the steering wheel I get not available? Can you assist
Hi Jim
Thanks for your post.
Voice activation does work with Touch & Go Plus so if you have paid the extra premium for the Plus feature then it would be worth checking this with your local Toyota dealer. Voice activation does not work if you only have Touch & Go.
Hope this helps clarify but do let us know if you have any other questions.
David I have the plus with nav, street view, wi-if hotspot, apps etc but the button does not work?
David it looks like I have touch 2 with go not plus so I don’t get the 3D or voice
Could you tell me what are the latest map version? Mine is brand new and says 2014v3
Jim
Hi Jim
Sent my last message before I saw this reply.
If you do want to upgrade to Plus then your local dealer can organise this for you. The latest version is 2104 V3 4.4.1. which was only very recenlty launched so you do have the latest system in your car. Hope this helps but let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi Jim
Thanks for your reply.
I did quickly check this with our technical team and as you have paid the extra for the Plus and the voice activation is not working then it does sound like your local dealer may need to have a look at this for you. Keep us posted on how you get on or if you have any other questions.
Hi, could you tell me the latest version for the Touch and Go 2 Plus. I have a Prius Plus with Touch and Go 2 Plus, however the customer portal says I have a map update but my installed map is 4.3.0H and according to the Help doc I’m not able to update unles I buy the new version, My car was brand new 3 months ago…
Hi Colin
Thanks for your post.
Just so you are aware we generally work on two map upgrades per year and the latest version 4.4.1 was only released in the last couple of weeks. If you have purchased Toyota Touch 2 with Go Plus then this does entitle you to three years of map upgrades. We would recommend speaking with your local Toyota dealer who can help arrange this for you.
Can anyone please tell me how to enter Geo co-ordinates into my 2013 Yaris Hybrid Touch and Go 2 Sat Nav ? Post codes can cover a fairly large area and you don’t always have an address. Geo co-ordinates are far more accurate. Urgent
Hi Peter, thanks for getting in touch. To search via coordinates please follow these steps: 1) Display the “Navigation” menu screen and select “Enter destination”. 2) Select the “Advanced” tab. 3) Select “Enter geo-coordinates”. 4) Select “N” or “S”. 5) Enter the latitude. 6) Select “W” or “E”. 7) Enter the longitude. 8) Select “OK”. These instructions can also be found on page 165 in your navigation manual. We hope this helps!
