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 Lubna,
Thanks for your query. We would suggest trying a different phone to see if the system connection is sound. If this is the case it could be an issue with your phone. If this is not a viable option, we would advise returning to your dealer and explaining the situation as it could be a fault within the system. Hope this helps.
Hi, can you please confirm if the 2015 Rav4 touch and go sat nav already has the French speed cameras detectors removed, as we need to comply with French law for our imminent trip. thanks
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your post. Our sat-nav does not have French speed camera detectors installed, there will be no notifications. Enjoy your trip!
Hi,
Have anyone ever seen working Mirror Link on Toyota Touch 2?
I have Toyota Touch 2 Go, checked a lot of samrtphones listed on “http://www.mirrorlink.com/phones” (two Samsung, 3 Sony and HTC) It never worked. Toyota sells the technology that is to old for each phone after 2013 (Toyota Touch 2 was relesed in 2014???). Is there any chance that you correct this with update for users or this will be the feature that never really worked?
Regards
Eve
Hi Eve,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, we are unable to advise as to what is going to be included in the next update. If you have any further queries regarding this issue, we would suggest contacting customer relations who will be able to advise further. Many thanks.
Would you mind letting everyone know what Customer Relations said about this? MirrorLink is basically all people talk about in this forum, and nobody ever got a satisfactory answer, other than “your brand new Toyota only works with 5 year old phones” or “contact your dealer”.
Hi Carmine,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, with regards to technical help we are unable to give detailed advice. Your dealer should be a first point of call when experiencing issues like this. We pass all the feedback to our technical team and it is being looked into. We are not able to discuss customer complaints, and responses from Customer Relations on this forum. We would greatly advise contacting them if you would like some further clarity. Many thanks!
Fab thanks.
Hello,
I have an Auris Touring Sport HSD 2016 with Touch 2 without navigation, version:0101AD
My phone is HTC M9 with mirror link option on the USB connectivity.
I downloaded the app Sygic but nothing happen on the screen.
The connectivity option doesn’t appears on the setup menu of the Touch 2
Thanks in advance
Jesus
Hi Jesus,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately Auris is not compatible with Mirrorlink version 1.1, which your phone will be running. Auris is partially compatible with Mirrorlink 1.0, so it is unlikely that it will work unfortunately. Full details of compatible cars and handsets are viewable on the Mirrorlink website http://www.mirrorlink.com/, the Aygo is the only UK vehicle that is listed and runs Mirrorlink 1.1. Hope this helps! Many thanks.
This website says “Toyota Touch 2 is ‘MirrorLink’-ready”… Really?
The Mirror link website list 138 smartphones as supporting Mirror Link V1.0 and 362 as supporting V1.1. So Touch 2 supports Mirror Link with 38% of smart phones by those figures.
Of course when you look a bit deeper V1.0 is supported on older handsets which by now have either been replaced or at least had is software updated since it was manufactured, so 38% would in fact be a huge overstatement of the number of phones still in circulation.
I am awaiting delivery of a shiny new Prius and was expecting that it was going to support MirrorLink after the dealership showed me this web page when I placed the order – Yes, would have gone for a different car from another manufacturer had I known this.
While I agree that it is Toyota’s prerogative to decide that its costumers can’t be trusted not to use the V1.1 features on the move, I believe that the statement “Toyota Touch 2 is ‘MirrorLink’-ready” is now misleading.
Should this not be removed from the website as I feel my new Prius will be “Not as described”.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your post. Sorry about the disappointment, the new Prius is Mirrorlink ready but only with compatible devices. You can check the compatible devices here: http://www.mirrorlink.com/phones. Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any more queries. Many thanks!
Hi Andy, I had exactly the same issue when I bought a RAV4 2 years ago. I didn’t get the sat nav option on the Touch 2 system as the literature and the sales guy said the unit was MirrorLink compatible. I even went out and got a Sony Xperia to go with the car as this was listed on the MirrorLink web site. When the phone and car arrived I put them together but could not get the system to work – eventually I was told here on this forum that only the Samsung S3 with specific firmware would work.
You are right, in my opinion, this is mis-selling and Toyota should correct their marketing or face consequences.
is there any update for the touch2 device without the navigation of my auris 2016 ?
If yes where can I found it ?
the device shows these information.
software version 0101AD
Device 13TFDAEU-DA07
Hi George,
All updates can be found on the My Toyota portal, in the e-Store. Many thanks!
Hi,
unfortunately, I cannot register my Touch 2 device (without nav Auris TS 2016) with the e-Store of the My Toyota Portal (device Id not valid).
device ID: 13TFDAEU-DA07
software version: 0101A5
The problem is, that my Toyota Touch 2 is continuously rebooting once I paired with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Android 6).
So where can I check for the latest software version? And where can I download the latest software because I cannot register my Toyota Touch 2 devices in the My Toyota portal?
Thank you
Thomas
I have Touch 2 with Go Plus on a Prius PHEV – the car is great, the navigation isn’t. It is slow to operate, counter-intuitive to use and very clumsy to programme. Touch 2 with Go Plus is not in any way worthy of the Toyota Brand.
When I want directions quickly I revert to my Tomtom Go 6000 which is older – but superior. I should not have to say that about a £35,000 car – sorry Toyota, “there must be a better way”.
Hi John,
Thanks for your post. We’re sorry to hear your issues- we’ll pass your feedback on to our team. In the mean time, please keep an eye on the My Toyota e-store for updates! Many thanks.
Hi,
i just bought a Yaris HSD mirrorlink ready car and i was surprised that a connection with the Samsung A3(2016) mobile phone was not possible. Then they told me that the only device that could connect via mirrorlink is the old samsung galaxy s3. A brand new car with advanced technology does not have the ability to connect to all mirrorlink mobile phones? Is this innovative? because personally i see this as a drawback for the illustrious Toyota motors.
Hi there,
Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, updates with mobile phones and mobile devices come sooner than our multimedia updates and therefore there can be a delay on which phones are able to connect. We will pass this feedback on to our technical team! Many thanks.

Once again someone is complaining that Toyota claims to support mirror link when in fact you only support a couple of old phones. When are you going to remove the claim from your web site?
I am confused about your reply Ella. It implies that Toyota are working on support for the Mirrorlink V1.1 standard when time and time again we are being told that we cannot be trusted to use it safely so we cannot have it. Is really being worked on?.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your post. We are not saying that there is an update coming, simply that not all new phones are added to our software when they are released. We are unable to advise what phones will be made compatible or if there is an update on the way. Many thanks!
Hi Andy, I bought a brand new TMC Yaris HSD in april 2016. I have been working in the consumer electronics industry for 30 years…and let me tell you, this has been an uphill struggle to find simple information from Toyota anywhere in the world!! Mirrorlink is hopeless – and like you say, Toyota why even talk/write about Mirrorlink?
The biggest problem here, is that Toyota dealers don’t know ANYTHING about digital consumer technology, internet, Android, iOS, apps, bluetooth etc. so they just give out of the blue false information. Likewise I was told there was a AUX mini-jack input in the car above the useless low voltage USB (for a MP3 stick or iPod haha – so last year) but that was only “the hole” for the plastic cap. Say what?
I bought the Touch 2 WITHOUT GO, which gives a lot of confusing for the Toyota dealers – apps no apps (I think they know GO means Navi by now, or not?) But again I was told..just log in and get the apps. Well, bummer no GO – or wait it is only for the GO! – GO away Toyota dealer….. Well anyway I don’t care about the water in the glass, but find my 7″ display useless for showing something that could be shown next to the speedometer.
So I installed a TAB S 8.4″ in front of the Toyota screen(display off), used an old android phone to display a Head up display, put in a OBD2 and now I have “hacked” my Yaris :-)…well I made it more exciting and “Ok google/Google voice” works perfect – people are more amazed with my own android install than my new car. Funny and somehow sad.
Luckily for me (and especially my useless Toyota dealer) – the bluetooth works as it’s suppose to.
Finally, I just want to say I AM a Toyota fan boy ! I would not buy anything else – YET. When the vehicles in 5-10 years, are 100% digital with AI, internet, screens and well a lot of software, well a smartphone on wheels, Toyota will have a huge problem with all the old “greasy oil engine” dealers – Welcome to the digital world TMC.
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for all your feeback!
Hi,
My friend bought a new Toyota Corolla. We wanted to test the mirrorlink functionality with my Samsung A3 (2016) mobile. It did not work. The phone started to establish the link with no success. Nothing happens on the Touch display 🙁
Unfortunately I could not find a list of compatible phones on any official Toyota site. Finally found this forum where I can see the same problem was reported one year ago, and an update of mirrorlink was also promised.
Am I wrong if I assume that nothing happened and Toyota Touch still supoorts only legacy phones?
