My guess is RFID either for the part's inventory control on the part or for quickly scanning the VIN during assembly. Did you buy used? I could see a large distributor like CarMax doing something like this as well.


..or it could be aliens.

edit: it's aliens.

Now you mention it. I have it on my car at the same location, too. However, mine is a W212. Hmm, now I wonder what it is.
