Even after Googling the writing I’m still none the wiser!



Many thanks

It looks like a blank, should you need to get a new key cut.

I know right. Why is he handling the fob, surely the chauffer just handles that.

In stole it from a bloke with a Rolls Royce.smile

If no one knows what it is I can post up a photo of the blade end. It’s like a weird USB thing.

If it's got an FCC ID it means it's some kind of wireless tech, so maybe a WiFi dongle or something to connect the car to a laptop.

Is there a matching port in the car somewhere?

Possibly just a flash drive. The writing looks the same.

The fact it has an FCC ID plus the Canadian equivalent means there is a transmitter in it, it may also be a USB memory stick.

If someone can share the full FCC ID we can find out what the transmitter is..

All we can say so far is the company who made it started getting FCC certifications after 2013 because the first digit of the FCC ID is a 2.

Ask whomever you bought the car from, surely that'd be your first port of call?

You could be onto something.

Rolls Royce owners who aren't scrap dealers are slum landlords, and you can hardly let a tenant take a place without adding £5 to the leccy, can you.
