Mercedes‑Benz and Chipolo Launch Co‑Branded Key Tracker for Google and Apple Networks

The Mercedes‑branded Chipolo Loop uses both phone networks for tracking so owners can locate keys from Android or iPhone.

Overview

  • Chipolo and Mercedes‑Benz made a co‑branded key tracker that is essentially the Chipolo Loop in a Mercedes‑styled case and is available now from Chipolo’s website.
  • The tracker works with Google’s Find Hub network on Android and Apple’s Find My network on iPhone so users do not have to choose a single phone ecosystem to locate keys.
  • Chipolo lists technical specs including roughly 400 feet of Bluetooth range, a one‑year rechargeable battery, IP67 dust and water resistance, a 120 dB alert, and hardware produced in Europe.
  • The housing uses at least 50% post‑consumer recycled plastic, features a brushed metal key hook and a chrome Mercedes logo, and pairs with the Chipolo app for extras such as a “Call Your Phone” feature.
  • Official pricing was not included in the maker’s announcement but a secondary report observed $39 on Chipolo’s site and $45 on Amazon, and the launch reflects a wider push by tracker makers and automakers to offer branded accessories that bridge device ecosystems.
