This is a hi-tech question about a low-tech issue.
I'm getting a fitted sunshade (HeatShield) and it's fitted for either:
-Without Lane Warning Sensor, or
-With Lane Warning Sensor

I have a EX-L, but didn't get HondaSensing.
It's my understanding the sensor is installed, just not activated on this model.
Correct?
Does it matter which design I get? (both are same price).
Thanks.

If you have sensing you will have a plastic box behind the rear view mirror like this
Honda Civic 10th gen EX-L Sensor? safety-09


I would get the sunshade designed to fit without the Honda sensing box.

No. Get the one without lane warning sensor.
You either have the black box (you have sensing) or you don't (no sensing).

Thanks guys, you clarified my (mis)understanding. I called the company yesterday and they said the sensing unit is about 2" wide (and I don't have anything that large).
(I was confused by my dealer -- they said they could add sensing to any EX model. Apparently the black box can be dealer installed.)

So, what's the little black channel going from the mirror mount to the roof line?
