Hi,

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 Limited and have a question about it. I wanted to know if I purchase an OEM key with remote start on it and program the key to my car will that give my car remote start? I only have the original key which does not have the remote start option on it. However I did a lot of research and saw that my vehicle needs to be equipped with automatic transmission to be equipped with remote start, which my car is. It’s probably too good to be true to be this easy to give your car remote start, but I’m just wondering and would like someone to clear all this up for me.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. A remote start is more than a button, but the Mopar kit is all plug n' play.
You want Mopar # 82214175AD.

If you can find installation instructions online, see if it is something you would want to install.
A trip to the dealer may be needed to program the fobs and tell the car that it now has the remote start option (sales code XBM).

Thanks so much for the reply! Do you think I am able to complete this installation by myself or am I better off taking it to a dealer. I do, however, have an idea of how to install because I have upgraded, installed and programmed the 8.4 NAV infotainment screen to my vehicle.

This parts website has the installation procedure for adding remote start.

The installation is a bit involved and indicates 'dealer connect' is needed. Best to review it to determine if it is something you are looking to tackle.

I installed a Mopar remote start on my wife's '11 Liberty.
I still needed the service dept to hook into the MotherChrysler Ethernet to tell the TIPM that it now had XBM and program the new fobs. After that everything worked fine and she was happy.
"sigh" Things were so much simpler back then.

Ahh I see and yeah I agree. Honestly I do not think I’m going to even attempt to try and install remote start, as it is a very nice feature but not worth the stress and risks. Thanks anyways for all the replies.

I know this is an old post but I didn’t know my Chrysler 200 limited had remote start at all my key fob only has lock unlock and trunk open button . I unlocked my car door to let my mom get something out my car and was sitting on my couch and pressed my lock button 3 times to make sure I locked it and she called me from outside saying I started my car! Did not know half way through the winter and the dealer never told me this . I have a 2016 limited .

Put your vin at the end of this link and it will download a copy of the original window sticker (mulroney label). You will be looking for the remote start or the cold weather package. Note the vin letter are capitalized

chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=

This link will pull the build sheet for you vehicle. Enter the vin in the box

FCA RAM

As it seems you have the remote start you will need to get a remote that supports the feature, a circle with an arrow point with the caption x2. You will need to program the new fob to the vehicle.

Update on this forum:

So I decided to finally get the iDataStart CMCHXA0 remote start module along with the iDataStart ADS-THR-CH12 T-Harness for my 200. I flashed the module and everything, however I would much appreciate some help with the install. The wiring instructions tell me where to put the harness plugs into on the car, however it does not show me where inside the car these plugs are located. I have an idea of the proximity of the plugs, but cannot find the actual plugs. I’ll post the diagram below and if someone here can show me where the plugs are, I’ll be very appreciative. Thanks.

So I need to find the Push To Start Connector, the OBD II Harness, and the Light Switch Connector.

Thanks so much for the pictures and think I figured it out now.

one question about the OBD II connector part. Am I supposed to plug the after market harness into my cars normal obd input, then have the aftermarket OBD female connector act as my new OBD II connector? I don’t know why I did not think of this earlier, I guess I felt it wouldn’t make sense having an unplugged part of the harness, even though my obd connector remains unconnected on my car (unless I am using it)

I think that it does plug into the OBD2 connector for PCM communication. The free end would be the one you plug the scan tool into for control module diagnostics or software updates.

Right I agree. I’ll try it now and when I figure out how to connect the harness I’ll make a new forum for anyone else who wants to attempt this.
