Mercedes-Benz is selling a Chipolo-made key tracker that works across Android’s Find Hub network and Apple’s Find My system. The branded accessory is basically a special-edition Chipolo Loop with recycled plastic, a metal hook, a rechargeable battery, and a louder-than-average lost-item alert.

Why it matters

The story shows another major car brand leaning into phone-based item tracking, and it highlights how Android Find Hub is becoming part of the mainstream accessory market. It also gives Android and iPhone users a cross-platform option from a premium brand.

Mercedes-Benz made a small gadget for keys with Chipolo. It helps people find lost things by making a loud sound and showing where the item is in a phone app.

It works with both Android phones and iPhones. That is like a name tag that can be read by two different school roll calls.

The gadget is also built to handle rain and dust, and it has a battery that can be charged again. Mercedes-Benz put its logo on it, but the main job is still simple: help keep keys from disappearing.

Analysis

What Mercedes-Benz is selling

Mercedes-Benz has partnered with Chipolo on a branded key tracker that is available starting today. The product is described as a special edition of the Chipolo Loop, with Mercedes-Benz branding added rather than a completely new device.

What it does

The tracker works with Android’s Find Hub network through the Find My Device app, and it also works with Apple’s Find My system on iPhone. According to the article, it can additionally pair with the Chipolo app for features such as “Call Your Phone” and other functions.

Hardware details

Chipolo says the device is made with at least 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, has a matte finish, and includes a brushed metal key hook. The front carries a chrome Mercedes-Benz logo, while the Chipolo logo is on the back. Inside, it offers a 400-foot Bluetooth range, a rechargeable battery rated for about one year, IP67 dust and water resistance, and a 120 dB alert for locating a lost tracker. Chipolo also says the hardware is produced in Europe.

Pricing and availability

The Mercedes-Benz edition Chipolo Loop is listed at $39 on Chipolo’s site and at $45 through retailers such as Amazon. The piece frames this as another example of Find Hub accessories expanding beyond generic tracker brands into co-branded products from larger consumer companies.
