Hi

Do you have any idea what it is ?

I got a used 2010 IS250 and yesterday I found a sticker which is stick to the back of the inside rear view mirror, just above the sensor.

Anyone has any idea what it is ? I already tear it off and did not notice any connection between the sticker and the mirror

maybe a EZ tag or w/e your tollway uses?

I remember someone posting something similar a while back. The dealer puts that there so it's easier to track the car when they leave or come in for service? Something like that.

Looks like a long range antenna for an RFID tag.

Here are a few RFID websites that have similar tags.

I think these guys are the manufacture of the tag.

Based on the paper I found at White Paper from Old Miss University it looks like the max range should be about 23 feet (7 meters)

As to why it is there, that's a totally different question

its a tag that your dealership service puts to track their customers when they goes into service.

Correct, they are called 'Alien Squiggle Tags' (odd name I know lol)

You can get more info about how some lexus dealers are using this by going to http://www.mydealerlot.com/lexus/1.html

Just found one on my old car - it was falling off the top of the inside rear-view mirror..
It is a passive RFID tag used by dealers on their sites to track car inventory and cars in for service.
It says "Alien" on it because "Alien Technology" makes the stickers.

"My Dealer Lot Automation" supplies the overall system.
