Question Installing a remote start/push-button-start 2013 xD

This is going into a 2013 Scion xD.

I'm installing a push button start system that also has remote start capabilities. It is generic as hell which should have been my first warning. Instructions are in very, very bad Engrish. EEEKit KQ163, if you're interested or link below.

Anyway the installation is going well, except in order to get everything working, the instructions are having me connect to "Oil pump positive". There is a diagram that is of no help, but it does say "Important: the line must be connected". Thing is, I can't seem to find a line or wire that even remotely matches this description.

Instructions are attached.
Link to the product:
Amazon Amazon

My question is this: where can I find the oil pump positive? If it's not accessible, is there an alternative? I am obviously new to Scions and am a novice with this kind of installation, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

For anyone that's interested, I have decided that this device is not worth any further time and headache, so I'm returning it for a refund and will try again later. It's not the car (the car's amazing!) but the device I chose to buy. Don't be a cheapass like me and get the $45 remote start kit from China!

never ever install a 3rd party remote start system, is what I have learned in the past 3 months.

Our car has an OEM one that toyota will install for you, I had the service quoted at $300 if I bring the OEM part to them.

This is the cheapest OEM one I found $170
https://parts.toyotasouth.com/oem-pa...art-pt39852083

Toyota Part No.: PT398-52083

Uses the factory remote and it functions by pressing unlock or holding it for 3 seconds or something to auto start the car, it shuts off after 10 minutes if they key is not inserted.

I'm getting this and having toyota install it for me.

$500, not too bad and full OEM
