Toyota Touch 2: how to pair your phone for calls, music and internet

By Toyota Blog

In this post, we explain how to pair your phone with Toyota’s Touch 2 multimedia system, and how it can then be used to make calls, stream music and access the internet.

The following video shows you how to do it, or you can follow the step-by-step instructions below.

Pairing your phone or mobile device

Pairing your mobile device to the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia or Touch 2 with Go navigation system is a quick and easy process.

First, make sure that your phone’s Bluetooth is switched on and the device is discoverable.

Now go to the ‘SET UP’ menu on your device and press the ‘CONNECTIVITY’ button.

Then press ‘BLUETOOTH’, and ‘SEARCH DEVICE’.

When your telephone is displayed on the Touch 2 system, select it and agree to connect on your handset. Some phones may require a passkey to be entered – simply follow the instructions on your phone’s screen.

Well done – your phone is now paired with your device for hands-free calling and as a source for streaming music.

Touch 2: How to connect to the internet

Connecting to the internet

To pair your phone for internet connection, first make sure that your phone’s ‘Personal Hot Spot’ is enabled.

Now return to the ‘SETUP’ page on your Toyota Touch 2 with Go navigation system, where you will see your phone listed.

Select your phone’s name and that’s it – your Touch 2 system is now successfully connected to the internet.

Many of the functions and content of your phone are now at your disposal. You can use your Touch 2 system to access your device’s music, browse contacts, make hands-free calls, and download apps from the MyToyota e-store. You can also purchase and download apps for your Touch 2 system online at MyToyota – find out more in our introduction to the MyToyota portal.

At MyToyota, you’ll also find a compatibility checker to discover which Touch 2 features are compatible with your particular phone.

  1. Ella thank you for that. I have tried the setting but as you say the options are avoid toll roads freeways ferry’s and I think one other, not really very productive when other systems let you chose, stick to a roads etc . I must say I haven’t looked at the turn list to see the exact route as I am used to the other system choosing a sensible route, and as I use the sat nav for places I haven’t visited I wouldn’t know what type of road it was , only yesterday my touch and go 2 decided I should turn now a route with a massive sign saying UNSUITABLE FOR MOTOR VECHICLES. I personally just thought we had got passed the stage of sat nav’s telling us to drive of piers or down unsuitable roads. I am sorry if this sounds complaining as I love the car in every other way. I just need sat nav and wish the one provided worked efficiently

    1. Hi Alan,
      Thanks for getting back to us. We are sorry to hear that you’re having these problems. We can also recommend (if you require) logging these issues with Here.com. You will be able to submit a change, Navteq (who supply our maps) will then drive the route and plan it for a future update. However, it takes 18 months to plot/plan and roads are done on a priority basis. If you do log your issue, once something is fixed/mapped you will get a notification which means it will be on an update soon. We will also pass your feedback to our team so they are aware of the issues. Many thanks!

  3. I just bought a used Toyota yaris of 2012. I was told it carried Toyota touch 2 and go but I didn’t check it further. Now I just tried to pair my phone but when I press on the Bluetooth option on the screw nothing happens, the same if I press in maps nav button. I don’t know what exactly goes wrong. I also tried to find my navi’s ID but there is not even the choice system information in my menu. Is there anybody who has an idea that may gel me??

  5. I just signed for a demo Rav-4 hybrid it has Touch 2 but not Navigation GO. Is there some way to connect my phone to the multimedia system to get google maps so I can find my way around? As we drove away from the Toyota dealer we realised we had not checked on this and he confirmed by phone to us that the car is not equipped with GO. To add on GO (here in Switzerland where I live) it will cost around 790£! I am so upset with myself but am hoping to find some way to just navigate without all the bells and whistles of a proper navigation system. Roaming costs for my phone are very expensive here so I want to know if I can connect to the internet on the Touch 2 system to access google maps and not incur roaming costs? Thank you so much for getting back to me with an answer.

    1. Hi David,

      Thanks for your comment. Your Touch 2 and Go may need updating to connect with the iPhone 6s – we would suggest visiting your nearest dealer so they can check this for you.

      Thanks

      2. It depends, it may not be an update issue, which is why we would suggest visiting your nearest dealer. 🙂

        Thanks

  7. Hi,

    My Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) can be connected with the Touch and Go 2, but can not shared internet connection. By contrast, a Galaxy J7 (2016), can do it. Both are using Android 6.0.1 software.
    Can you give me an issue?
    Thanks in advance

      1. Hi Maria,
        It is the RAV-IV 143 D-4D Dynamic 2WD produced during spring-summer 2016.
        Thanks for your help
        David

      2. It appears that it should be able to share it’s internet connection, we would suggest taking it to your nearest dealer so they can take a look for you.

        Thanks

      3. Hi,
        I solved this problem by switching off the wifi before switching on the bluetooth of my phone. I just have to do it each time I start my phone…

  9. I’ve had the same problem connecting to the internet in my new Yaris Icon but found the solution. My Touch 2 connected to Bluetooth for audio without a problem but wouldn’t connect to the internet even with my mobile hotspot turned on. The solution was to go to my tethering settings on the phone and to turn on Bluetooth tethering. Now my Touch 2 connects even with the mobile hotspot turned off. I then had an issue connecting to the Toyota Online services but after trying without success to connect, I found an email had been sent asking me to login to my My Toyota account. I did this and was then prompted to register my infotainment device. Once this was done I had full access to everything. I hope this helps others who are struggling.

  10. Hello, I just got a new corolla with touch 2.
    I can’t connect it to the Internet even though I enabled the hot spot and the Bluetooth tethering. My phone is a Samsung j7 2016. The option that is shown in the video “connect to the Internet” doesn’t even appear. Other than that I have no problem with pairing it for music and calls.
