Anybody know of wireless parking sensors? Something that's completely wireless?

I'm looking for a wireless or smart parking sensor that's easy to install. I'm not much for wiring anything...When I look online most options seem to be extremely
complicated or expensive. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm buying a used car soon and need to know options soon so I can maybe have the dealership
install it for me.

Wireless systems are going to be complicated, and expensive. The sensors would have to be self-supporting.... IE, batteries, and such. I think you would find that type of thing annoying in short order.

Wireless parking sensor? Didn't we used to call that a "mirror?"

Adding that system to a vehicle is not going to be an afternoon project if it is done properly. The proximity sensor in the license bracket might be easiest, but will still require some planning and work. Wireless systems tend to be less reliable in the long term.
