Toyota Touch & Go: how to play music via Bluetooth or a USB device

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNkg5wK3gZE

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 MEDIA
Press SOURCE
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 Charlotte

    After booting the cd, I highlighted and dragged the Album in a folder with the same album name. Some tracks gave the full details such as track name, artist etc. whilst others appeared as Tracks 1. 2. 3. and so on with no other info at all except the artist. When the media was selected only the tracks from the first folder appeared on the screen, no other artist or folder could be seen. The media cannot see the other artists as they are hidden in separate folders.

    Thanks and regards

    1. Hi Vic,
      Thank you for your reply. We have spoken with our technical team again and they have advised inputting the track information on the USB, therefore directly editing and filling the information in on the USB. Hope this helps a little more. Many thanks.

  2. Hi Charlotte

    Thanks your reply, will try that but as its coming to Xmas I am getting a mini iPod as this is much easier to load music from iTunes. Thank you for all your help.

    Regards Vic

  3. Hi
    I have been playing my ipod classic via USB port in yards for 5 months. I parked for 5 minutes turned engine off to get something and when I returned and turned on the engine I got the message ‘ipod authorisation failed’. The ipod plays perfectly with headphones and on my home stereo. I have tried turning off and on the audio, plugging in the USB and taking it out. How do I reset the yaris audio system?

    1. Hi Bonnie,
      Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department and they have advised carrying out an iPod reset and trying another USB lead. If this does not work then we recommend visiting your local Toyota dealer who will be able to carry out a rest on the system. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know.

  4. I have a 2013 Yaris with Touch and Go system and currently unable to browse music over bluetooth with my current phone.
    I am about to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S6 but would like to know if the browse music function (and the other basic functions such as phone etc) will be available with this model. If not, can you advise which phones are compatible as it is pointless having this functionality if I’m unable to use it!
    Many thanks

    1. Hi Karen,
      Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department and unfortunately we are in the stages of testing this functionality on the Yaris, so at present cannot comment on this function. We will update you as soon as we know otherwise, please accept our apologies. Many thanks.

      1. This isn’t a new issue. My wife has a RAV 4 and cannot browse her music. I have just brought a new verso last week i cannot use the browse function. Both cars browse function are greyed out.
        We are both unable to change from one folder to the next unless we disconnect the phone from bluetooth first.
        When i first connected my S6 via bluetooth i was able to see all folders but as soon as i chose a folder that is the only folder that will play.

      2. Hi Paul,
        We’re really sorry to hear you’re having problems. Have you taken your car to a Toyota dealer to see if they can help? Many thanks.

  5. I used to be able to Bluetooth my work iphone5 to my 2014 Yaris to use the phone. I just got a personal iPhone6 and added this as a device. Now neither device will connect anymore. Can you advise?

    1. Hi Lyn,
      Thank you for your post. We have spoken with our technical department and they have advised you unpair / delete all phone pairings within the touch unit and then reset your phone back to manufacturer’s settings, and then pair your phone and restore phone via cloud. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know.

  6. Hello,

    Have you ever heard any bluetooth interference problem when phone is attached to the dashboard in a cradle? If I place my iPhone 5 in a cradle and fix it on the dashboard in the middle, phone call quality becomes bad and voice gets crackling. If I place it to the side or farther from dashboard quality becomes absolutely ok. Phone is paired through bluetooth without any problem.

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    1. Hi Isogulaleb, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, this isn’t something we can diagnose online. However, we do remind you that any wireless connection can be subject to interference from outside elements.

  7. Hi I am just about to get an Auris 2016 model and have never used bluetooth for music. Please help/advise? I don’t particularly want an ipod. so really will be doing this as MP3 files. But question is how does this work? Do you just copy the MP3s onto a USB3 – or are you better with an MP3 player? also I note some people have said it won’t look in folders? so I take it I just create a really long list? could almost say bring me back my multi -CD player. thanks

    1. Hi Yvonne,
      Thank you for your post. We would recommend visiting your local Toyota Dealer who will be able to provide you with a visual demonstration on how to do this. Your local Toyota Dealer will also be able to advise on which method to play your music will suit your needs more. Your local Toyota Dealer can be found here: https://www.toyota.co.uk/find-your-dealer.json. Hope this helps a little further, many thanks.

  8. 2012 prius v. Our bluetooth intermittently skips and loses sync with no recourse while driving. I tried plugging my Galax s5 into the usb, but the stereo will only play items stored directly on the phone’s tiny internal storage. It can’t seem to find the 64gb sd card and files stored there… pls help.
