the opening for the ultrasonic has a plastic holder that screwed into the main body of the overhead console in order to accomodate the ultrasonic sensor. if that part is unscrewed, you can forgo the ultrasonic sensor and retrofit the sunglass holder... you will need to remove the bracket for the sonic thingy, remove little rectangular "button" looking blank cover, order yourself some sunglass holder parts... not sure why you want to do that in the first place, but it is possible...

the other hole that is not filled (mike, garage opener, sunroof switch, SOS) is for the light that comes on yellow and tells you that the passenger airbag is NOT active - say, a person in the passenger seat is too light-weighted (a kid, or a dog), then the system turns off the bag, and the light comes on...

this overhead, as noted above, is for pano roof, as the ultrasonic sensor used to be in dead in the center of the ceiling on regular roof, and had to be relocated, along with rear reclining seat buttons and lights to elsewhere - the sonic went to the front, the bottons went to the C pillars and the lights scooted over on the ceiling to the rear doors
