I placed mine in the factory position underneath the infrared sensor at the center of the dash. Here are some general instructions on how to do it.

how to remove GPS sensor cover? - 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S) - RennTech.org Community

There are three difficult parts:

1. To access the screws that hold the unit in place, you need to pry up the defroster trim. Since you are doing it during the summer, they shouldn't be that brittle.

2. Removing the screws - I used a right-angle screwdriver from Harbor Freight: 8 Piece Right Angle Screwdriver Be careful not to drop the screws down into the defroster vents. (I didn't, but I could see how it could happen.)

3. Running the wire down the dash - Use a straightened coat hanger.

Good luck - It sounds like you are going to have a nice system.
