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.

Hi Serge,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Toyota Touch 2 uses a system which is compatible with Samsung and Nokia for mirror link. Unfortunately this system is different to the Sony system making the Xperia incompatible. Toyota Europe are looking in to this so we’ll keep you updated, but for the moment there isn’t a fix.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
But now you tell me that Toyota Touch2 is compatible with the Sony Xperia smartphone. Today I tried a Sony Xperia Sony Xperia Z1 and Z2 (with latest updates) and I could not run MirrorLink.
Could you tell me the steps to get it working? Would I have to upgrade Toyota Touch2?
Thanks for all and best regards.
Hi George
Thanks for your post.
It may be worthwhile double checking with the Sony website regarding Mirrorlink compatibility and whether this software is on your specific model. There is no firmware update on the multimedia device that would enable this.
Hope this helps clarify.
The telephone is recognised by the touch with go via Bluetooth and is listed on the display screen. It shows as a paired connection but fails to connect as a telephone ..
Hi Ralph
Thanks for your reply on this and we have run this past the technical team.
They have advised that the phone you are using is not on the compatibility list which may mean it does not support the same Bluetooth profiles, or that it needs manual connection. In the settings menu where you can see the paired devices you can press “connect for telephone” to force the connection, if it still does not go through then can you test another phone that works on other systems? If that works then it is your phone Bluetooth profile that is causing it, if it does not then we recommend taking your car to your nearest Toyota dealer.
Hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
Nokia 6310i, Regardless of any connection attempt I was unable to establish a telephone connection.
I took your advice and asked the main dealer who I purchased the Yaris from to see if they could connect, No change there, I suggested and not the dealer to try the phone on a year old car with Touch connectivity, my 6310i worked perfectly as a phone.. The dealer showed no more interest and said the Touch 2 with Go is the latest revision and my phone is not compatible with it.
I disagree with this decision as all new revisions are normally backward compatible and should support telephones which worked on previous Touch systems.
Your comments please
Hi,
my phone is included in this list http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=1145. but still I am not able to connect it via MirrorLink.
Furthermore the feedback I got allready is that Toyota Touch2 supports MirrorLink connection only for some old Nokia Symbian devices and Samsung Galaxy S3 running DriveLink App.
Can you please elaborate how to connect my smartphone (SONY XPERIA Z) with Touch-2 via MirrorLink?
Thanks in advance for your assist
Hi George
Thanks for your post and we have checked this with our technical team.
Not good news unfortunately as Sony phones are not compatible with MirrorLink on Touch-2.
Hope this helps clarify though.
I am the owner of a 2013 Corolla with Touch multimedia system
sometimes system would freeze up for no apparent reason , after a while it restarts itself and works properly .
i contacted the local dealer who sent me home without answers.
Are you aware of that problem?
I am really disappointed .
Hope to your urgent help/
Hi Zvi. Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Toyota Corolla multimedia system. We are not aware of any problems with the multimedia system on our equivalent for the UK market (Toyota Auris). We do know that the specs can be very different so we strongly suggest that you get in touch with the Toyota distributor in your country about the issues you are having with the car as we do not want to give you inaccurate information. Thanks
Hi
I have just bought a Yaris Hybrid with Touch 2 and Go.
It’s great to have a D.A.B. radio but it doesn’t seem to display the full title of the song that is playing. Often it is just the first 2 letters of the song. Have I missed a setting?
Hi Steve
Thanks for your post and hope you are enjoying your new Yaris.
We have run this query past our tech team who have advised that on the Yaris it is possible to switch the Radiotext function on and off in the DAB settings screen. Check this further and let us know how you get on.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I do have all the settings ticked including radio text. However, I do not get the FULL text.
On FM for Heart Radio I have the following radio text: “Heart Radio – More Music Variety”
On DAB I have “Heart Radio – M”
When a song is playing I have the following scrolling text on FM “Now on Heart: Bruno Mars with When I Was Your Man …”
On DAB I have “Now on Heart: B”
Why is the text limited on DAB? Why doesn’t it scroll like it does on FM?
Thanks
