Chrysler 200 key types & programming facts
2011-2014 Chrysler 200 models in the U.S./Canada use a remote-head key that combines the mechanical blade, transponder chip, and remote functions in one unit. Programming replacement keys for these models is done through the vehicle’s OBD port using appropriate diagnostic/programming equipment, and typically requires at least one working key or security authorization from a locksmith or dealer. Once programmed, the transponder portion allows the car to start and the remote buttons control lock, unlock, trunk, and panic functions.
Key types used on the 200:
- remote-head key (integrated key blade with remote buttons, transponder inside) (2011-2014)
Common fob FCC IDs: OHT692427AA — check the back of your fob; we confirm the exact variant on site.
About programming your Chrysler 200 key
Across the 2011–2014 Chrysler 200 model years we cover, key programming is manufacturer-controlled: every year listed above routes to a programmer or security-access procedure rather than an owner-followable onboard sequence. That is normal for this platform — the immobilizer pairs the key’s transponder to the vehicle through an encrypted handshake, so a blank or aftermarket fob will not start the engine until it is properly programmed.
What that means for you: you do not need the dealership. A mobile locksmith brings the programmer to your location, identifies your exact key type and FCC ID from the fob, cuts or sources the correct key if needed, and programs it on site — including all-keys-lost cases where no working key remains.
To program your 200, have ready: your model year and trim, whether you still have a working key, and the fob itself if you have one (the FCC ID printed on the back identifies the exact key variant). Call (833) 439-8636 and we confirm the route and a firm price before we dispatch.

How we validate this guide
Year coverage comes from our consolidated vehicle programming dataset. Route-level programming status is reviewed against internal route sheets and available manufacturer, security-access, and professional tool references. Exact button sequences are marked source-verified only when we have year/equipment-specific support; where a year is labeled “route verified, steps vary,” we confirm the exact fob, trim, and prompts before programming. Reviewed for route and safety by Mohammad H. Abdelhadi, ALOA-Certified Master Locksmith.
