looks to me more like a microwave sensor or something like that.
A keyless entry uses radio waves and just needs a little wire ariel, usually under the dash or in the engine bay.

Does your car have a function that turns the headlights on when it gets dark automatically. If so then its the light sensor. My soarer has two things that look similar on the dash, one on each side.

or does your car have climate control? It could very well be for that.

Yes its the climate control and the cap is UV sensitive to protect the element underneath.
If you remove the cap in direct sunlight there is a possibility of damage to the sensor, thus why it is black.
Make sure you havent broken it!
