Modular sensor console unit for automotive occupancy sensors comprising an exterior housing having a grille and warning light bezel therein, a sensor mounting plate, an electronics module and a back cover having tabs for mounting on the interior of a vehicle, preferably adjacent the junction of the headliner and front windshield. The housing has an attractive contoured shape that merges to the headliner. The mounting plate comprises a plate and a plurality of hollow cones formed therein, preferably base down with the distal ends of the cones truncated to form planar openings for receivingly engaging US or IR sensors. The mounting plate can be employed in a first base-down "mesa" orientation with exposed sensors, or a base-up "magaphone" orientation with recessed sensors. The console can be preassembled and is easily mountable in the vehicle during interior finishing assembly.
