It doesn't look too diffucult for install. You will have to get switched ign. power to it somehow though. That may require a little finesse'.

Being a 95 SE, if you do not have a sunroof, check the passenger side A pillar and see if you have the sunroof power wires.. Thats how I ran my Autodim Compass miror... And its a switched circuit with Retained acessory

I put one in my car it was actually really simple, run the wire you need a ground and a power and run a wire to your temp sensor on the front of the car near the radiator, and thats it,

Your temp sensor is already used by your car, right? For your climate control? Don't tap the existing sensor. Get another. Run it seperately. Why you'd want two temperature readouts is beyond me, though.
