USB to UAX IN Jack adapter

Hi,
My 2015 ML350 had a 3.5 Jack AUX IN adapter which I used quite often to connect some of my old but good audio devices. However, my recently acquired 2017 GLS only comes with USB connector and Bluetooth for all media connections but no AUX IN. I was told that there were some USB to AUX IN adapter that would work for Mercedes NTG 5 and above and would display "USB AUX" on the screen when the adapter is connected to USB 1. Is anybody familiar with that adapter?
Thanks

This is for the other way around. To connect a USB player to the AUX port in a car, digital-to-analog converter. These are usually low quality, because the AUX input in a car is low quality. You need the opposite, analog-to-digital and unless it's high quality it's gonna sound like crap, so they are more expensive.

EDIT: You might be better off digitizing your analog music with good equipment at home and with a decent bit rate and then just store them on a thumb drive or SD card.

I was tripped up by OP's use of "USB to AUX IN adapter".
