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.
Thanks David
I had Touch 2 and the dealer has sold me an upgrade listed as Touch 2 with Go Plus… so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m in Dublin but I can’t imagine that Plus would be available for the RAV4 in Ireland several months before the UK.
Whatever system I have, I note that since “upgrading”, the speed of loading bluetooth and the handsfree sound quality have both diminished significantly.
I have software version 4.2.2L. I see there is a higher version 4.3.0L available for Touch 2 with Go. Is this something I can upgrade myself? Is it likely to address the above bluetooth shortcomings?
In the meantime I found your compatibility chart which notes the lack of email/SMS/calendar for iPhone. The link I was looking at is still busted though. If you go to http://www.toyota.co.uk/owners-info/touch-and-go
1. Click on FAQs
2. Mobile phone information
3. Click any of the three links e.g. in “Which mobile phones are compatible” or “is my mobile phone compatible” and they are broken
Hi,
I’ve just bought a new Yaris Hybrid with Touch 2 with Go. I’ve found a small but annoying issue with it, so whilst I’m waiting for the dealer to contact Head Office about it, I thought I’d ask here!
I don’t want the system to announce incoming text messages while I’m driving as it would be a distraction (I get a lot of them from Twitter!). I’ve gone into Settings – Phone and unticked the option to ‘announce incoming messages’. However when I leave my car and then reconnect my phone to it later (e.g. after work), the option is TICKED again! So then I have to untick it again – and this cycle just repeats, as the option won’t stay unticked.
Why does this particular setting not remember my preferred choice? None of the other options reset themselves.
I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S5.
Hope you can help!
Thanks
Steven
Hi Steven,
Sorry to hear you’re having problems with this. We’ve checked with the technical team and this isn’t something we’ve encountered before on a Yaris Hybrid. The best course of action would be to book your car in at your Toyota dealer where a technician will be able to examine it and try to fix the issue.
Hope that helps,
Will
Have upgraded and it’s great! No problems what so ever! Great work Toyota!
Hi Daniel,
Did you have an xperia working with the touch 2 using mirror link?
Could you tell how to upgrade? Which app are you using?
Thanks!
Any update on the Sony Xperia compatibility with Toyota Touch 2?
I don’t understand how Toyota sells a product in 2014 MirrorLink STANDARD compatible and supports only a shortlist smartphone with an age of 4 years ago.
Please give customers a solution, or at least not selling a supposedly compatible product with MirrorLink.
Thanks
PD:Sorry for my English, I’m Spanish.
A few days ago I bought an second hand Toyota Camry Hybrid 2011 imported from USA
Is there a way to connect the mulimedia system to mirror link ?
Many thnaks
Hi Daniel, good news! The Sony Xperia is now compatible with the Mirrorlink feature. You may find this website useful: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=1145. Hope this helps.
Hi Zeev, unfortunately we don’t have access to specification manuals or wire diagrams for american spec vehicles. We’re unable to guide you further with connecting mirror link to your 2011 Camry multimedia system. Sorry we couldn’t provide a more positive answer!
Many thanks
just bought a MY14 Yaris Hybrid, my Nokia mobile phone model 6310i pairs with the touch & go
but fails to connect.
Although old it worked very well when paired in my mini countryman.
Can this be sorted out
Hello Ralph
Thanks for your post.
We checked this with our technical team however they will need some further information from you to help advise you further. You mention that you are able to pair your phone but do not clarify regarding where it fails to connect? Do you mean phone, bluetooth music, internet, email or text messages?
