Check out these instructions on RennTech for adding a garage door opener:

There are several pictures showing the space above the HVAC vents. An RFID unit will fit there. I don't have any trouble with a garage door opener signal, working from there. I'm assuming an RFID would work too.

We use SmartTags here in Virginia, and every few years you need to turn them in to have the battery replaced. So, you would have to disassemble your dash every few years if your system is similar.
