Default RFID sticker for dealer tracking

So I found a sticker on the top of my rear-view mirror which looks like an RFID tracking device. I found another thread in another forum (where I found this photo) which states it's for the dealers to scan when your car comes in. Knowing my dealer here in Atlanta, they don't know who I am until I go inside and give them my phone number so I find it hard to believe this is for dealer scanning. anyone know for sure?

When I went to test drive cars at carmax they had these stickers in the top corner of the windshield. At the gate they would have to detect the RFID sticker and the sales person's ID in order to open the gate. That way they keep track of what cars are coming in and out.

It could be that the stickers don't have any personal identification info, just car model/vin number etc.

My dealer has just started using these, so that when you drive into the service bay they automatically know who you are. I would also guess - but don't know for sure - that it would be used to record when the car leaves the garage; this could help management track that the car is done and ready for pick up.
