Chevrolet SS key types & programming facts
The 2014-2017 Chevrolet SS for the US/Canada market uses a PEPS-style flip key that combines a remote keyless entry transmitter with a traditional flip-out blade, and supports features like lock, unlock, trunk, remote start, and panic depending on vehicle equipment. Replacement and additional keys typically require programming to the vehicle’s immobilizer/PEPS system, which can be done via on-board procedures if you already have a working programmed key, or with appropriate diagnostic equipment if all keys are lost, often handled by a dealer or automotive locksmith. The process usually involves synchronizing the transponder/PEPS portion and verifying remote button operation rather than any mechanical modification to the existing locks.
Key types used on the SS:
- flip key with integrated remote (smart flip key / PEPS-style remote key) (2014-2017)
Common fob FCC IDs: OHT05918179 — check the back of your fob; we confirm the exact variant on site.

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.
