So today while sitting in traffic I happen to run my hand across the backside of my rear view mirror. I was just feeling the surface because I’m thinking about installing a camera there. Anyway there was a sticker that was about 4” long and 1/2” wide that was a matte black color.
The sticker was already barely on so I pulled it off to see what it was. That’s when I didn’t really know what I was looking at. On one side it’s matte black (much like the surface of the mirror housing) and on the adhesive side it has, well, I’ll include a picture. There seems to be a brand name or “Alien” and a yeah that is 2011.
Anyone else have this or know what it is? Seems to be thin metal. Almost like a security tag.

It's an RFID tag. Probably used for inventory control at some point.
Alien RFID tags are generally used for inventory control and management. It might have been applied by the dealer or the shipping company to assist with tracking vehicles along the delivery chain.
