radio bad - Sounds like he hs pulled out a pin or used the wrong interface. The aerial has an amplifier built in, it needs a live switched by the radio - if this isn't present you will get week FM & no AM, sounds like its no longer connected

Sounds like he cut a wire to stop the lights.

I agree with Mike with the cables being the same. I fitted a Nokia car kit into my 02 - Cooper than transfered the cable direcly into the 05 cooper S but I am a bit worried about him cutting the cable
