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.
I have just bought a Toyota Yaris Sport (Sep 2014).
Although I can pair my mobile – Samsung SIII okay and the contact list displays, I cannot get the texts to display.
I understood this function was supported.
Any idea where I am going wrong?
Hello Sue
Thanks for your post and sorry for the delay in replying on this.
We have had a quick word with our tech team who have confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy SIII should support this function. They have recommended that you try deleting the pairing from the phone and the car and then repair this. It may also be worth checking the phone settings.
Let us know how you get on and if you need any further help.
Hi
I am looking at buying a new toyota prius plug-in. Do you know if it will be fitted with Touch 2 with Go Plus, or will it be the original Touch and Go plus system?
Thanks
Chris

I note you have not yet responded to my reply to you on the 26th September
Hello Ralph
We apologise for the delay in contacting you and have run this via our technical team.
They suspect this is a phone compatibility issue because the 6310i has not been tested on the Touch 2 system. It is not listed under the compatible phones. http://www.toyota-europe.com/service-and-accessories/my-toyota/bluetooth-compatibility.json
While it may have worked on Touch & Go it the software may have changed which explains why it does not connect. If it is possible, they have recommended to try and pair another compatible phone to the car just to make sure that there is no fault with the unit itself.
Hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
Hello Chris
Thanks for your post and for your interest in the Prius Plug-in hybrid.
We can confirm this car will come with the Touch & Go Plus Navigation system fitted as standard.
Hope this helps but let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi.
I have purchased a new yaris my15 model and want to utilise the mirrorlink option. Which smart phones are compatable with the touch2 system? As I have tried htc one m8 and can’t get that to work.
Thanks.
Hello John
You can check phone compatibility via our website, you will need to identify your version of satnav (found under General, System Info) and to make things easier we have attached a link. http://www.toyota-europe.com/service-and-accessories/my-toyota/bluetooth-compatibility.json
Hope this helps but let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi. I’m looking for a mobile phone that will mirrorlink to touch2 and go. Not blue tooth.
Cheers

hi like a previous post I have a New Yaris with touch2 and go , when on DAB the text does not display the full song info just the first characters, I have checked the settings and all are correct are you working on a fix?
thanks chris
Hi Chris
Thanks for your post.
We have picked up on this and brought this to the attention of our technical team. We will reply as soon as we receive some further information from them.
I bought my Rav4 in January and run touch 2 with go.
I have to say for a basic use the satnav system is ok. That unfortunately is where it ends for the system is wrong so many times with the location of POI’s and it appears to find every single track (some public and some private) making a journey into a farce trying to get down roads that sometimes don’t even have a tarmac surface and are so narrow it is ridiculous.
I have a caravan and the satnav is almost dangerous with the roads it takes one down.
Please let me have my 2006 version back which was without fault for the seven years I used it.
I’m afraid you do not have the usual Toyota quality product you are famous for.
Hi Geoff, thanks for the message and sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your navigation system. It all depends on the route type selected: select Short – in a straight line, the shortest distance between two points (as much as possible) this often includes narrow roads. Choose fast – it looks at road speeds / traffic data, normally national speed limit as much as possible. Choose Eco – chooses a route with the least stop start, least hills, least braking and as direct as possible – this normally will take you motorways and A-roads. Thanks again for getting in touch, we’ll pass your comments onto our technical department. Hope this helps!
Hi
Proud owners of a new yaris hybrid here (2014)
Hi James, that’s great to hear. We’d love to see a picture of your new Yaris Hybrid! Do you follow us on Twitter (@ToyotaGB) or Facebook (Toyota UK)? Post a picture on our Twitter or Facebook page :).
Hi
Does Mirrorlink work on the Toyota “Touch 2”?
Or only on the “Touch 2 GO” and “Touch 2 GO PRO”?
talking about the new 2014 RAV4
