wireless is comparatively expensive. and they go nuts under power lines.
if I were you, i would take the bike to a bikeshop and tell them what you want.
Installing is not so easy. DH always does mine.

DH installed the last one and did a great job. It was a Cateye, but I let it go with the bike.

I had the PlanetBike b4 the Garmin. It worked fine and was easy to install. When I got the Garmin, we moved it over to Meg's bike quite easily.
It does have the temp function you are looking for.

I've got a basic wireless bike computer I'm willing to give away. I don't have the info on it here at work. PM if interested.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I've got the Planet Bike Aero Wireless. It was cheap at Nashbar or Performance Bike. I love it. It's kinda big, but it has lots of data on the screen. The thermometer is quite accurate, and it has the basics. Performs just great.

I like my planet bike computers. One has a thermometer, and the other doesn't. The thermometer isn't exactly accurate - it runs four degrees cold in the winter and hops around a lot when it's warm. I love how it resorts to the clock in the corner as a default on my commuting bikes where time matters a whole lot more than average
They're not hard to install... tho' I stopped with putting one on the Dahon because I couldn't figure out where to send the wire so it would be least likely to mess up in the folding process. (It's 'way too long from wheel to handlebars for wireless.)
