what about the bamboo skewers? you said they were needed, but not what for.
My son pulled out the antenna on his car controller. Where do I reattach it?

Look for a solder spot near the top of the controller marked ANT.

what does it mean by 'strip ONE end of the wire and twist the ENDS ' ?

what is the use of bamboo skewers
I think your phone wire needs to be the exact same length as the previous one or it won't work properly, no?
