Sounds like multiple issues to be honest. Rotten eggs is usually a catalytic converter clogged up. The brake pedal shouldn't be able to affect the radio, they're different systems. It sounds like someone probably hacked something together in the past. Nobody online can diagnose this for you, you need to take it to a shop
