Looks like a trim removal/prying tool to me.

It looks like a shim but I have not a clue where it would go, but it may not be related to the car.

It’s a trim tool that is used to pry the shift cover on your PDK to put the car in neutral if you lose power and require a tow. There is a slot in your tool compartment where the lug key is stored.

So the PDK is slower than a manual transmission in at least one way.

There's a place for it in the trunk in a plastic container next to the jack. It has a wrench and couple of other things. Looks almost like a reading glasses case.
