Default found this "dongle" on the floor of new to me a3 cab

just bought a 2015 cpo a3 cab. been on a road trip the last 10 days with it, but yesterday morning found this on the floor in front of the front drivers seat. can anyone identify what it is or might be from? that morning when starting up it seemed to have lost my audi connect info, so it could somehow be related to the mmi. mut after reestablishing the audi connect info everything was back to normal. it could just be something random and unrelated to the car, but at the same time looks like it belongs somewhere and looks service related.

It's a key ring that dealers use to hang keys or open boxes with keys in them... just return or throw it away.

I got a loaner with one of these attached, not the best thing to have in your pocket as it will gouge your legs badly. Asked them afterwards why they have them since they are huge, stated they are for sales people to hang the keys on some special board they have.
