With Toyota Touch and Touch & Go it’s straightforward to play music via your Bluetooth device. You need first to pair your phone to the system.

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.

Why doesn’t my USB stick display album art, the songs play fine.
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your post. We have checked this with our technical team and they have advised that album artwork is unable to be displayed from a USB. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know.
Sorry to contradict the technical team but using the USB stick with my Yaris Touch & Go shows the album art for each folder. You need to make sure the hidden system files are copied with the music: AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg
Hi Trevor,
Thank you for your post, our technical team have looked into this for you in depth and have found that this is correct and the USB must be formatted to FAT32 in order for this to work. Thank you for your help.
Well this information unfortunately didn’t help at all. I’ve got both the files AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg (to show this files, type in the command line: attrib -s -h Folder.jpg /s.
I formatted USB to FAT32 but still no cover art!
To be honest Toyota: there seems to be a functionality but how to uncover this?
I have put song on a USB stick but when I plug the USB stick into the USB port display shows read error, why is this?
Hi Gemma,
Thank you for your post. We have passed this by our technical team and they have advised to ensure the stick is formatted to FAT 32 and that the files are saved in the formats and bit rates listed in the owners manual. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know.
i have a yaris icon with Touch 2, is there anyway of connecting HTC one M8 via USB as over Bluetooth there can be long delays between switching tracks starting and stopping songs and the lack of a browse function? of is there going to be an update to facilitate a browse functionas this is a major drawback?
Hi Nick.
Thank you for your post. We have passed this by our technical team and they have advised that the phone is not guaranteed to operate via USB as the system is designed to be used with an iPod and/or USB stick, however music browsing is possible with a compatible phone. We would suggest deleting the Bluetooth pairing from the phone and the car and carry out a reset on your phone, then re-pair to the car as this may help with the slow functionality. Hope this helps further and if you have any other questions please let us know.
Hi there,
Thank you for your post. In order for us to advise on how to create a playlist we would need to know the model of device you are planning to use. Many thanks.
Hi James,
Thank you for your quick reply. We have passed this by our technical department again for you and unfortunately this cannot be done using a memory stick. If you have any other questions please let us know. Many thanks.
Hi, I posted here over a year ago about not being able to browse music over Bluetooth. At the time the fault was blamed on Apple (can’t remember the version). I have now moved on to iOS 9.1 on an iPhone 6s and stil have the problem. My car is a RAV4 2014 with Touch and Go with s/w 4.3.0L. Can you please advise what is causing the problem and when it will be fixed. I don’t want to have to keep plugging in the USB cable
Hello Stephen,
Thank you for your post. We have sent this over to our technical department and we will get back to you as soon as we have an answer. Many thanks.
Hi Stephen,
We have spoken with our technical department and unfortunately this is down to Apple. Apple has not allowed access for this function via the Bluetooth profile. iOS7 worked, since however it has not worked. Hope this helps clarify and if you have any other questions please let us know.
I have just bought an Auris HV 2014 with touch and go which is also unable to browse music. Both the phone and the car have the latest software.
The Yaris I owned before this had no problems browsing or playing music with exactly the same phone so I cannot accept that this is an “Apple” problem no matter what the technical department say.
According to the official Apple documentation on their website iOS 9 fully supports A2DP and AVRCP 1.4 (including browsing).
My 2013 Yaris with touch was able to browse music on my iPhone 6 but now I’ve replaced the car with a 2014 Auris with Touch and Go browsing does not work with exactly the same phone.
If it was an Apple problem neither would work so your technical department cannot be correct. (Also, your compatibility page says it should work)
Can you tell me what is being done to resolve the problem? Simply saying Bluetooth audio is virtually unusable for users of many of the most popular phone types on the planet isn’t really acceptable.
I have compiled a Lexar USB stick with song tracks from various artists for my partner to listen on her 2014 Yaris Icon. I done this on a MacBookPro via drag and drop in the artist folder from her cd’s. The problem is it only recognises the first folder but not the other 15 or so folders. When using the search option on the touch and go it only looks into the first folder too and not see the other folders. Any ideas of what is wrong and is it better to use and iPod?? Thanks for your feedback, regards.
Hi there,
Thank you for your post. We have passed this to our technical department and they have advised not formatting your USB in folders but inputting all the correct track information for each track. This will then automatically sort by artist for you. Hope this helps clarify and if you have any questions please let us know.
Thanks Charlotte, somehow i half expected your answer. Unfortunately I dragged and dropped the files in the USB directly and a lot of them did not give the song title, just the track no. only which appeared identically on a few folders. Looks like I have to download them in iTunes into an iPod instead.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
Regards Vic
Hi Vic,
Thank you for your quick reply. Just to double check once the files are dropped onto the USB have you then made sure all the track information is inputted correctly on the USB? Many thanks.
