  $10 bucks for a wireless one?  That is cheap if it actually works for
very long.

   I mounted a wired one, a cheapo from a big box auto parts department
(Eastern country of origin) and it works just fine.  I ran the wired
outside temp sensor behind the floor mat and out  through the firewall at
the window washer reservoir filler opening.  Mounted the probe to the
frame, in a protected spot, and passed the wire up through the instrument
cluster cowl to the head unit and inside temp/clock display.  I mounted
that just above the heater control, adjacent to the instrument cluster.
Sticky back velcro came with the widget and it works just fine without any
extra holes or wires to power it.  A good addition to my van.  Sometimes
the glare through the windshield makes it hard to read the LCD display.
