Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra on a quality unit. That fleabay junk will only give you headache after headache. And they are not typically as protected so when they go bad (not if, when) it could damage your vehicles electrical system and end up costing you a hell of a lot more than you would have spent on a quality unit.

This reply is not a stubborn comment but:
What price do you consider good? I bought bulldog deluxe 2 way $179. Used for only one winter and now no longer work. Tech said bad $50 remote. Also, aren't most thing made in China?

Anyway, found the cheap manual and would nice to get some help.
Do I need all those relay? The green wire, is that suppose to be TACH? Never seen one that connects to oil wire.
Just wanting to connect starter option.

A good unit should cost you a few hundred INSTALLED and you will not be able to buy it online. Good manufacturers do not sell their products to places that will sell them without installation because they know how much the installation can affect the unit. If you can buy it online, it is either a low quality brand, or it is a remanufactured good brand... no other way around it.

A couple red flags I see immediately that SCREAM run away from it.
1) Oil light engine status. A quality unit will use a tach signal, and nothing else.
2) I have no idea what is going on with the ignition relay. You should be using the ignition switch 12v wire (depending on the vehicle) and the oil pump is typically mechanical on most vehicles and should have absolutely nothing to do with remote start wiring.
3) The unit appears to have an ignition kill rather than a starter kill. This is extremely dangerous. If the unit were to ever short or something were to go wrong, it could shut your car completely off while you are driving. A sudden loss of power on a highway can cause a major accident.

Disclaimer: Howie pointed out the oil light and screwy starter kill... he gets the credit on those... lol

Thanks for pointing out the RED flag.
I won't be installing on any of my new vehicle then.

You mentioned, good starter is one installed from dealer and shop.
Well, that's why this site exist.  It's for those who wants that DIY.
People who wants to save $.  People who wants the knowledge.
As for me, it's both.  I was to save money plus learn a thing or two from my mistakes and help from forum members.

Local shop here charges $400+ for oneway and $500+ two-way starter.

If you are just looking for a remote starter, I have had very good luck with the Viper 5301. Have had one in my wife's Corolla for 5 years now.
What make/model car are you installing?

As I mentioned before, I had Bulldog Deluxe 500 and I loved it until i cant remote start.  MIGHT need new remote $50 plus shipping.  Mine was LCD display remote.
I had it installed on 05 Chevy Colorado.  I just did the basic install. No windows no locks no nothing.  Didn't even had to install the Tach wire.
I was looking for something cheap with 2way under $100.  To be honest, $50-$60.
