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.

  1. I have a Auris Touring Sports Hybrid and Touch&GO 2. Great car.
    But what about Estonian speed cam warnings database? Please add it because it is allowed.

    1. Hi Dan, thank you for your message and we’re really chuffed that you’ve been enjoying your Auris Touring Sports Hybrid. We have taken this feedback on board and of course if there is enough interest or a consumer group need for this to be included we could later add it. Thank you for the feedback.

  2. Good afternoon David, thank you for your message. Apologies that you have not heard back yet. To clarify, Touch and Go and Touch and Go 2 are separate systems and one would not update into the other. We have spoken to our technical team and they have read through your messages. They have advised that your USB stick may be too small to hold the whole file and you will need at least 8GB of space formatted to FAT32. We hope this helps but if not please get in contact. Thank you.

  3. Afternoon David. Thank you for your message and for checking this information. We will talk with the technical team and see what they suggest. Thank you.

  4. Hi David, we have spoken to our technical team and they suggest contacting your local dealership who will be able to diagnose and sort this problem for you. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose the exact issue online and to save you from more trial and error this would be the best route. If you’d like we can speak to your local dealership for you?

  5. Hi,
    I have bought a 2012 Yaris T Spirit 5dr 1.33 VVT-i. When I tried to register my navigation unit, I’m getting the error “The Device ID you have entered is already registered to another vehicle.”. I’m confident that I entered the correct device identification code. Do you have any idea why this happens? Any help will be much apprecidated.
    Regards
    Paul

  6. Good morning Paul, thank you for your message. We have talked to our technical team and they would like you to talk to our customer relations team about this in order to resolve the device ID issue. Please get in contact with them using one of the following methods: po.st/gIPYXD Thank you again.

    1. I have a Auris TS Jan 2015 how do I upgrade the mirrorlink for the 1.1 version? 1.0 is kinda useless on those days… 🙁
      I would even pay for it cause it make all sense to have it

      1. Hi Elton, we recommend visiting your local dealer who will be able to help you out. Thanks.

  7. Hi – I purchased a Prius Plus (excel +) on September 1st 2015 and have been unable to use the following features:

    1. My HUD will allow me to select traffic directions (shows on display choice) but just returns to speed indicator?
    2. Although I have a voice recognition button on my steering wheel it shows as ‘not available’ on the display.
    3. My I Phone 6 has paired successfully but doesn’t show messages

    Can you help please?

    1. Hi John,
      Thank you for your post. Great to hear about your new Prius Plus, we hope you like it. We have asked our technical team to look into this for you and they have recommended that you visit your local Toyota Dealer regarding your voice recognition. You can find your local dealership here http://po.st/fNAll4.
      In order for your phone to pair successfully showing messages this can be found under your phones settings. This can be done by firstly select settings on your iPhone, then Bluetooth, click on your car device and this will allow you to turn on ‘show notifications’.
      Regarding the heads up display, the Prius Plus does not have this available as an option. Please see page 258 in your owners manual. Hope this helps clarify and please let us know if you have any other questions.

    2. I am sooo glad I read your message John. I thought I was losing the plot. My company gave me an Avensis as a company car and I was amazed that having paired my S7 to the car I cannot ‘talk’ to the car to make phone calls while driving. For something that is so basic these days not to work frankly amazes me. I sold my old Honda Accord (I don’t need to cars like John Prescott) which I have had for 5 years and that allowed me to make calls while I drove without having to look at a (not very good) screen and poke about to find the relevant contact to call. If I had spent good money buying this car I would be disappointed in the extreme and running it back to the dealer for a refund. At least I am lucky enough to be in the position where I haven’t paid anything for the car and now know not to bother spending money on a Toyota in the future.
