How can I play my Android phone's audio directly into my Yaris's basic audio system?

I recently bought an 2008 Yaris. It comes with an audio system that looks like this

It comes with a CD slot, FM and AM. But it can't play the stuff from my Android smartphone. What are the options to make use of the car's speakers?
I prefer an inexpensive solution.

I understand I can buy an FM transmitter. But perhaps it would be better if there was some way to connect the smartphone to the audio system by a line. Is there something at the back of the audio system that lets me connect it directly? I think the audio would be much better than by FM transmitter.

plug it in the aux port...?

i dunno about 2008, but my 2010 base has an aux port in the one storage pocket

My aux port, 2008 3 door hatchback, is on the center console next to the parking brake and the stock stereo is clearly marked with a Disc-Aux button. Is your owner's manual in the glove box? There is a section about the audio system.

I believe with that particular HU you are out of luck. There is no aux capability.

Castles & malibuguy, I'll check user manual and see if there's an auxiliary port.

Weeyari, you may be right.

I checked the user manual, and it didn't mention an auxiliary/line port.
I see no ports on center console or in glove box either.

Is there any way I can splice my phone's audio into car's audio system? (Preferably something direct... In other words, not FM transmitter)

I use an AM/FM transceiver. buy this one.

High quality, sexy german male voice tells you its connected, and it has noise cancelation so you get alot of harmonic resonance from the ungrounded chassis canceled out.

No because you have no ability to change input selection on the head unit to aux.

eBay is probably littered with Toyota OE units that do have an aux port for cheap.
