suggestions for wiring up Backup parking sensor?

Here is a link to a very cheap (best price is $30) backup parking sensor that just gets attched to the top or bottom of the license plate.

I like this design since you dont have to drill into the bumper, and while it doesn't cover as much area as bumper sensors- I think this will do the trick. This may even be able to be hidden in the bumper itself.

It is suggested to be wired into the rear backup lights - so it sgets activated only when in reverse - but I suppose any DC source will do. I was even thinking the light that shines on the plate. Sinec wires will have to be run to the DC as well as inside the car for the speaker- any thoughts as to the best way to route these? I dont want to drill any holes if possible.
