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. Hi there,
    Thank you for your post. We hope you are enjoying your Land Cruiser. To enable us to help further please could you provide us with the model of phone you will be using as only certain phones are compatible. Many thanks.

  2. My dad has a Auris touring sport hybrid with the Touch and go 2 plus and I’ve encountered a issue while trying to listen to music on my LG G2. When I connect it as a media device it plays music fine using the default music app on my phone however as soon as I listen to music via spotify or Amazon music it stops and fails to play the music through the car’s speakers and even trying to play music through the default music app on the phone won’t work and I need to disconnect and switch to another media source to listen to music from the phone again. Any idea why this isn’t working? Everything else seems to work just not the only thing I will use my phone for in my dads car.

  3. Hi Mike
    Thanks for your post.
    We need to investigate this further with our technical team but it will be Monday before we can reply. We will post as soon as we have received their reply.

  4. I have Auris TS 2015 and the owners guide states the Mirrorlink is supported. I tried to connect several phones that support Mirrorlink but this feature does not seem to work.
    What is the reason for this problem?

    1. Hi there,
      Thank you for your post. Only a few phones are supported by Mirrorlink and each phone requires an application to be downloaded. For us to be more specific could you let us know what phones you are trying to use. If this continues to be a problem we would advise visiting your local Toyota dealer. Hope this helps.

  5. Hi Mike
    Thanks for your patience and we have received a reply from our technical team.
    They have confirmed that the system is designed to play music that is stored on the phone and streamed music playing is not supported.
    They suspect that by trying to use the app this is causing the required reset to resolve the issue. Hope this helps clarify but let us know if you have any other questions.

  6. Hello,

    I tried Sony Z2, Samsung S6 and LG G3.
    The S6 actually displayed a message on the phone that it is now connected via Mirrorlink but nothing happened on the car side.

    1. Hi Dani,
      Thank you for your reply. We would suggest visiting your local Toyota dealer so they can take a look at this issue for you. If you have any other questions please let us know. Many thanks.

  7. Hi Gabriel,
    Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department who have advised that your Nokia 625 is compatible with Toyota Touch 2, however it is unable to use Mirror-link to mirror the screen. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know.

      1. Hi Gabriel,
        Thank you for your reply. We have passed this to our technical department and they have advised that the Nokia Lumia 800 is not compatible with Mirrorlink. More information can be found on the Mirrorlink website to see which phone models are compatible: https://cert.mirrorlink.com/ProductListing/. Hope this helps clarify and if you have any other questions please let us know.

  8. Hi. We just bought a new Auris Hybrid TS. Is there any way to have my phone’s (Moto G) screen appear on the car’s touch screen? If not, is there any chance this will be an option in the future?

    1. Hi there,
      Thank you for your post. Please could you provide us with your phone make and model and we can look into this further for you. Many thanks.

  9. I bought a Prado in June which has the MirrorLink option. When I connect my Samsung S6 device to the USB port, the phone says that it connected with the MirrorLink however I don’t see anything on car screen.
    If I connect an old Samsung S3, it works fine.
    Is there a way I can update the software on my car to make it compatible?

      1. Hi Charlotte,
        What can we do if the mirrorlink website list the phone as compatible but the car does not recognize it ?
