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 Stephane,
Thank you for your post. Many phones require app downloads in order to link with Mirrorlink. We would recommend double checking this with your network provider. Many thanks.
Hello Charlotte,
Actually I do have the required software on my phone.
But my phone is mirrorlink 1.1 compatible and it looks like the touch 2 with go is only compatible with the old 1.0 version (very old)
Are you planning an upgrade ?
Hi Stephane,
Thank you for your reply. We have no news at present but stay tuned to our blog for all the latest news and information. Many thanks.
Hi Charlotte, I own an Auris Hybrid with touch and go 2 and a S6 Samsung smartphone. Not able to use mirrorlink, All needed apps downloaded, but no success yet.
I read a post about upgrading the system from 1.0 to 1.1 mirrorlink, which is the status?
Hi Giuseppe,
Thank you for your post. We have run this past our technical department and they have advised unfortunately the Mirrorlink on Touch 2 isn’t compatible with your phone. Touch 2 has Mirrorlink 1.0 and the phone has 1.1, at present there are no plans to update our system as 1.1 allows functionality outside of Toyota standards when the vehicle is moving. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions please let us know.
Hello Charlotte.
I read this thread about Mirrorlink versions.
I have Sony Xperia Z which supports Mirrorlink 1.0 standard but still I’m not being able to connect it to my Touch2 system.
This model is also listed as Mirrorlink compatible device.
thanks, Adam
Hi Adam,
Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department and they have advised to check in the Bluetooth compatibility list, which is available on TechDoc in order to see if your mobile phone is compatible with your vehicle: http://www.toyota-tech.eu and the Bluetooth compatibility list can be accessed if you hover the cursor over “OWNER” and then click on “BLUETOOTH”. Hope this helps a little further and if you have any more questions please let us know.
Hello I own an auris with touch and go 2 and in nav the voice doesn’t tell me the street’s name .
Hello Olivier,
Thank you for your post. We would recommend speaking to Toyota France regarding this issue: https://www.toyota.fr/. Many thanks.
I use a USB to listen to music on my Yaris with Touch 2. If I select “Album” it plays the tracks in order .But if I stop somewhere, turn the engine off and later restart, it will not continue the album but goes to “Songs” and I have lost the album, i.e the menu has changed.
Hi David,
Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department and they have advised that this is not yet a feature, the USB will start from the beginning of your playlist once your vehicle is turned on and off. Many thanks.
Thank you for your reply. I find it incredible that that there is no “resume” feature when playing an album. The touch 1 system on my previous Yaris was perfectly capable of doing this! The touch 2 is so complex. I wish I had my old one back!
I have a 14 plate Avensis that I am taking across to France later in the year. As it is illegal to have any speed camera warning devices, including as part of inbuilt navigation regardless of whether or not it has been disabled, will the maps already have speed camera locations for France removed or is there and update I can get?
Hi Adrian. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. we can reassure you that your sat-nav has no information about speed cameras for France, and therefore complies with French driving laws. Have a great trip!
I purchased a 2016 Rav4 Hybrid in January, with which I am very pleased. The version of Touch 2 with Go that was supplied is 4.4.1.WL 2014v3. I notice from the e-store that there is a version 4.50L. Is this the latest, and is this I should have been supplied with?
Hi Philip. If you purchased the car new, then it should have come with the latest version installed. Please speak to your Toyota dealer about rectifying this. Thank you.
I tried to post to this forum in January after taking delivery of our new Auris Excel with the Touch 2 Go Plus, but it never appeared – (why not?)
Basically we find the operability of the SatNav pants – when trying to input a destination on the screen there is no pinch to zoom function and no drag function requiring zooming out, touching the map approximately near to the destination then constantly having to zoom in again to refine the destination point. And during this the zoom controls quickly disappear so that you often touch the map itself require a retry. It’s awful and have had to buy a tomtom to use instead – These units add £950 to the cost of the car and are not fit for purpose in my view
Hi Terry,
Thank you for your post. We are sorry to hear you are not getting on with your sat nav. We would suggest visiting your local Toyota dealer who will be able to check over your sat nav settings to see if these are set correctly to allow a zoom function. Hope this helps.
I’ve already been through this with the dealer on collection (and indeed Toyota Customer Services) – this simple “pinch and zoom” functionality does not exist nor does moving the map by “dragging” it – as you can on even the cheapest satnavs and smartphones. I would strongly advise anyone considering paying to upgrade to the inbuilt satnav to not waste their money and buy a tomtom instead, as we have now done. Reading all the comments on this forum about lack of functionality on various issues indicates to me it’s a waste of time. I’m writing to Auto Express to warn people off specifying it.
Hi Terry,
Thank you for your reply. We are sorry you feel this way and we will pass your comments to our product department about the functionality. Many thanks.
Hi there, my new 16reg auris touring sports with touch 2 with go is not receiving any TMC traffic messages at all. This is the case while set up to receive by radio as well as live updates via Internet. There are many recent forum posts highlighting this issue. Is there a fix or not?
Hi Luke. Thanks for your post and apologies for the issue you are experiencing. Please email your reg to matt.searle@tgb.toyota.co.uk. I’ll check with the technical team.
I have 14 reg Yaris that does not have a sat nav but my Nokia Lumia 1320 Windows phone does.
I can get the voice in other cars but not in the Yaris only the directions on screen. Is the cars system
blocking the voice?
Keith
Hi Keith. Thanks for your message and sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing. Can you confirm that you’ve connected the phone via bluetooth? Thanks.
Hi Matt
Just checked. Yes my phone is connected via Bluetooth
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your post. We have passed this to our technical department and will update you once we have an answer. Many thanks.
I have an Avensis 2015 model with Touch 2 Go. I am looking for a screen protector, but can’t find an existing one. I contacted a company that creates screen protectors and they asked for exact dimensions of the device and of the display in order to create a custom sized protector. Where can I find this information? I would like to avoid measuring it itself, as even small errors could make the protector not fit or completely cover the display.
