    A google search turns up it’s an RFID tag for tracking and logistics.

    So if you bought your car used, perhaps it was previously a fleet vehicle.

    Or used by the dealer for tracking/inventory...
    In any case, it's not part of the vehicle, so it can be thrown away...

    P.S. When I saw NFC, I immediately thought "Near Field Communication", but then I realized what it actually stands for... :rolleyes:

    I thought near field too. Didn’t make the connection until you just mentioned it.

    Sometimes those are just keys for certain garages, or carwash payment tokens. Lots of reasons for RFID stickers on cars now.

    Are you being sarcastic, or do you really still have no funny clue what it means?
