Default wireless backup sensors

I was planning on purchasing this product below, but wanted to see if anyone has used this before:
Backup Parking Sensor System for Trucks, Commercial Trucks, Buses, RVs, Trailers, and 18 Wheelers with 4 Rear Under-Bumper Sensors. Sensor Color: Black. Wireless LED Display with Built in Audible Alert. R4BU-40210

I have the 08 double cab tundra and don't want to drill huge holes in my bumper. also don't want to deal with having to find ways to hide the wire from my truck bed to the cabin so I'm going wireless.

I've seen some posts (dated awhile back...2006/mid-2007) and some folks are saying these aftermarket sensors give false readings.

for those that have these, any comments....likes, dislikes, installation problems?

thanks!

I have one where the sensors are in a piece that mounts into the hitch receiver. It works very well. I don't believe you need the sensors spread out across the back bumper.
I bought it online for about $169. It installs quickly. You plug it to the trailer wiring plug. The inside wireless unit plugs into the cirgareete lighter. It beeps signals at 9-6-3 feet and is very accurate.
For me I would rather be looking behind me when backing than looking at a screen on the dash.
