Due to the “unique feature" of the SkyView ADAHRS of having the magnetometer built in, where are builders locating this unit?

A little background.
I have been flying for almost 4 years with a BMA EFIS-ONE (gold box), which was working good for the most part up until 2 weeks ago.  It no longer boots up.  Believe me, I’ve tested everything and it is dead.  With Dynon offering $1000 trade in value towards the purchase of a SkyView until the end of the month, I consider myself lucky to be getting that.  

I know I had some problems locating the BMA magnetometer behind the panel.  It worked, but was being influenced a little by something.  I moved it to the baggage compartment in the strake with plans to move it to the outboard end of the strake in the future.  It worked well there, so I left it.  The SkyView ADAHRS design makes it more difficult to locate in these places.  I don’t want to route pitot/static lines out to the strake.
