This post explains how to use the Toyota Real-Time Traffic information service available on Toyota Touch 2 with Go, and Touch 2 with Go Plus navigation systems.
The Toyota Real-Time Traffic information service helps you avoid jams and delays by offering up-to-date reports on traffic congestion and road closures.
The following video explains the process, with step-by-step instructions below.
First of all, make sure that your phone is paired with your Touch 2 system, and is connected to the internet. To find out how to do this, please see our post ‘How to pair your phone for calls, music and internet’.
Once your phone is paired and you are online, enter the details of your destination.
To activate Real Time Traffic reports, access the Navigation menu and press ‘TRAFFIC MESSAGES’.
Next, press ‘SETTINGS’ and select ‘TRAFFIC INFORMATION OVER INTERNET’. You’ll only need to do this once – once you have selected this option, your Touch 2 system will launch it automatically.
If you now go back to your sat-nav route, you’ll see that Toyota Real Time Traffic has been activated.
The red lines on the route denote a traffic delay.
On the left-hand side of screen you will see any traffic incidents that are on your chosen route, as well as the duration of the delay. You can also see the distance from your car to the actual incident. The total delay time on this route is displayed at the top of the screen.
You can see the details of all the incidents on your route by pressing the ‘NAV’ button and selecting ‘TRAFFIC MESSAGES’. If you select a specific incident, pressing the ‘DETOUR’ button will plan an alternative route tha navigates you away from the traffic delay.

My 2021 Rav4 had stopped showing or alerting me to speed cameras – whether connected by Bluetooth or Hotspot. The default setting us set to on. It has proven to be the most unreliable unit I’ve ever had the misfortune to own. Hopeless for a £40k car. My old Tucson never had a problem!

Hello. Who’s traffic information does the sat nav use? Is it something like Google Maps which pools lots of data so there is traffic information for very minor roads too?
Thanks.
Hi Ask,
The Touch 2 with Go system uses traffic data from Tom Tom.
Thanks
I’ve just got my second brand new CHR and the sat nav is useless . On my last CHR the sat nav picked up on road closures ( M4 has plenty of closures at night ) . Last Monday the M32 slip road from Bristol was closed and parts of M4 were closed and my sat nav did not detect any of them . I actually got lost as there was no diversion signs and all my sat nav told me was to do a u turn and go back to the closed slip road . Absolutely useless and I’m so disappointed with it . I wish I’d never changed my car .

Does Toyota Cars use RDS-TA and RDS-TMC?
Hello Saad, thanks for your comment.
Most vehicles tend to use RDS-TMC although it will depend upon the exact model and grade.
Thanks.

I have Touch 2 on my 2016 Prius. The internet traffic has been working perfectly through my Pixel 4a but has suddenly stopped. When I select traffic by internet it connects for 3-4 seconds then switches to TMC which no longer works. The internet connection is good as parking and petrol prices etc all work.
Any ideas?

I have just bought my first Toyota car CHR 69 plate but 2020 registered and the noticed the road sign assign only works when the camera sees the road sign. Does the navigation not use the map route to identify the road and speed? Also it does not show motorway speeds which is a bit of a safety issue. Does my navigation system need a software update to display the speed sign on or roads or is this a fault with Toyota cars?
Hi Joe, thanks for your question.
We would recommend checking the ‘Road Sign Assist’ section of your Owner’s Manual. Here it details conditions where the system may not operate correctly.
If you believe that the system is not working due to a different cause, please contact your Toyota Centre so that they can inspect the system.
Thanks.
