Press BLUETOOTH
The system will automatically recognise the device and start playing.

Toyota Touch and Toyota Touch & Go can connect to USB sticks, as long as they are 2.0 and above, and MP3 players.

Simply plug in the USB stick or MP3 player and the system will automatically recognise the device and will start to play the music on the device.

Regardless of whether you are connected via Bluetooth or through the USB port, if there is something specific you want to listen to:
Press OPTIONS
Press BROWSE FOR MUSIC
You can search by Artist, or Album much like you would on an MP3 device.

  1. Hi Emo
    Thanks for your post.
    I will depend on the format you are using as to whether artwork will be displayed, (it will not work via a USB for example), if you let us know then we can look at this further for you.

  2. Hi. When i browse by artist or song everything is fine, however when i find the song i want and select it it doesnt play the song i select it just takes me back to the main screen as if nothing has happend

    1. Hi Lewis
      Thanks for your comments.
      We have run this past our technical team but unfortunately they do not have enough information to provide an answer. Can you let us know what system you have in your car (and if you know the software versions this would be even better) and also is the music connected via phone and Bluetooth?

  3. Hi

    I have tried to connect my HTC One M8 ,but it is not discovered nor is the car discovered on phone.
    Is M8 compatible to connect with this or not? Also when connected with USB it is not availible to play any song or anything similar.
    I have Yaris Hybrid 2014 with Touch 2 screen (w/o CD player)

  4. Hi Ivan
    Thanks for your post.
    We have run your query past our technical team who have confirmed that we have tested one M8 and it is compatible on version 4.4.2.
    If it is not connecting at all they have recommended that you might need to stop by your local Toyota dealer so they can go through the procedure with you and check this further. Hope this helps.

  5. How can I play music from a created playlist that I have created on a USB Pen? I know i can play music from a playlist from an Ipod, but cant seem to play playiists from an USB Pen Drive.

    I Have an Aygo, 64 REG

    1. Hi Tommy
      Thanks for your post.
      We have run this query past our technical team. They have recommended that you check the format of the songs to make sure they comply with the recommendations in the vehicle handbook (MP3, WMA, AAC) along with Bit Rates and Sampling frequencies. They suspect though that you would need to change the album information on the stick to link the songs or perhaps create an album to enable you to do this. Let us know how you get on.

  6. Hi Wesley
    Thanks for your post.
    The post you are looking at here is a different system (Toyota Touch & Go is different to the x-nav in your Aygo). Can we just confirm, are you able to play music in your Aygo via a USB? Let us know the problem and we will see what we can do to help.

  7. Yeah it reads the USB but only if 2 albums are on there. If I put too many on it doesn’t read them, plays the tracks but no info on screen?

    1. Hi Wesley
      Sorry for the delay in replying, we have checked with technical and no track information will be displayed on screen from a USB. The next step is to check what format you have used to download the music and details regarding compatible formats can be found on page 74 of the Aygo Multimedia handbook. Have you been able to download this from the customer portal?

  8. Track info including album name and artist how I loaded onto stick worked fine with a few albums. When more than 4 were loaded it just keeps reading the stick, it’s as if too many files slows it down. Where is page 74 of the Aygo Multimedia handbook.

    1. Hi Wesley
      Have you registered your Aygo on the My Toyota tab at http://www.toyota.co.uk? (Top right of screen). You can then access the handbook for using the multimedia system. On speaking further with technical about this, the quality of stick used along with the format used to save the music can impact this. This was why we mentioned the handbook as it may help for the future when you are saving music. If you need help navigating the site please let us know.

  9. Already done this – clicking on the my apps and maps icon and last 2 days it’s been saying this

    I had a 64gb san disk stick, what format is the best way to have the tracks on their? Already tried mp3

    1. Hi Weseley
      Thanks for letting us know and we will see what we can do to help. Just to clarify, you have registered your car on the portal (click on the e-manual box to view your handbook) but when you are trying to access the maps and icon box inside your car you receive this error message? The USB needs to be formatted to FAT 16/32. The formats you can use are MP3 WMA or ACC and the handbook lists the sampling frequencies and BIT rates.

      1. Yes to both – still not opening can u list the sampling frequencies and BIT rates.

      2. Hello Wesley

  10. I have purchased a 2015 yaris and have loaded a usb with 200 songs however when I start it only loads 150 of them. When I go into the songs and find them in there it then recognises all 200 can you tell me why all 200 don’t get recognised straight away

    1. Hi Chris, thank you for being so patient with us while we check this out with our technical department. We suspect this is due to the speed of the USB stick.
