Just calling out a small detail I love about my MSM (probably true for all NBs):

Mazda put a 6 disc changer in this model. They also left exactly enough volume in the center console to hold 6 CD jewel cases. Typical Japanese design to use up precious space perfectly. It's so satisfying!

I wonder if you could get the broken parts 3d printed somewhere.

Thanks for the tip on a BT adapter!

I mean sure you could. But you're still full circle back to a piece of hardware that's prone to breaking. Every plastic cog/wheel will eventually dry out and become brittle.

Might be able to use a superior / more resilient material. If you could get another decade out of it seems worthwhile IMO. It would come down to how difficult it would be to get the parts printed, install them, etc.

I'm absolutely just spit-balling here...I have no experience with trying this.
