Good luck there was a thread here somewhere and some major cutting was needed if I remember correctly. If you have MM I would instal a backup camera instead. Sorry I didn't open the E-bay link, never seen a sensor like that one.

You can find plenty of guides on the net! I have 2 left hands too but I'm going to attempt it too. Doesn't look like too hard work.
