Default What is this?

I just bought a 99 A4 and in the glove box I found a small chip-like thing. I was wondering if anyone knew what it was? Thanks for any help. Here are some pictures of it:

Sorry if they are kind of blurry, it's hard to get the camera to focus on something that small

So I might have an aftermarket chip? How would I know if I did or not?

umm. i think it is the new babonic hightech fast acting super chip. it runs about 1000 dollars. you are very lucky to find that. i have heard of people going around and placing them in random glove compartments. very very high tech. its a new marketing tool and you are a lucky winner. congrats

alright well all joking aside. what do you guys think this is exactly. is it what the stock chip looks like that they take out when you put a new one in. For all the people who have chips is that what yours looks like?

There was a similar question raised in a post a month or so ago... I don't recall the answer nor the thread it was in!
