LMAO you guys had me rolling reading those guesses as to what it was.

Whoever serviced the car attaches one of those to the keyring and the key is entered into a system that holds the keys in a locked drawer, each one 'plugged' into its own hole in the drawer, and a computer that controls the system knows which key is in which hole.
When someone signs in to the computer and punches up the key they need, it unlocks the drawer and illuminates the LED of the fob attached to the key that entered.

When the person removes the key, it keeps track of who took out the key at what time on what day so if someone else tries to get the same key, they will be able to see who it is signed out to.
