The Mercedes-Benz edition Chipolo Loop is a special version of the brand's Bluetooth tracker that has been created through a partnership with the car brand to help drivers enjoy a unified style effect on their keychain.
The tracker features a black matte shell accented by a brushed metal key hook and the recognizable chrome Mercedes-Benz logo. The tracker is great for matching vehicle key fobs, while also working well for tracking handbags, backpacks, suitcases and more. The tracker features a Bluetooth range of 400-feet and is equipped with a 125dB speaker to aid users in finding it.
The Mercedes-Benz edition Chipolo Loop features an IP67 rating, will work with both the Apple Find My network and the Google Find Hub, and will offer up to one year of use per charge.
