Need Help Wiring Dash Cam

Hey guys, I just bought the AUKEY Dash Cam:
Amazon.com: AUKEY Dash Cam, HD 1080P Real View Rotatable Car DVR with Wi-Fi, Mini Covert Versatile Video Camera with G-Sensor WDR: Car Electronics Amazon.com: AUKEY Dash Cam, HD 1080P Real View Rotatable Car DVR with Wi-Fi, Mini Covert Versatile Video Camera with G-Sensor WDR: Car Electronics

It's pretty good for the price, here is a recording I made this morning (Using Cigarrette Lighter Cable):

The camera comes with a hard wiring fuse cable, but I'm pretty confused as how to wire it for the GLA. I took some pictures below. Can anyone with a little more know how point me in the right direction? I would like the camera to only turn on when the car is on.







Thanks in advance.

*SOLVED* I just decided to try it and it's working. Here is how I ended up wiring it:

I cut the BLACK connector off (Ground) and screw it to the bolt to the left below the fuse box.

I blacked out the writing and switched off the audio and flahing lights on my Blackvue 650 2ch to make it less noticable to those outside and inside the car.. Some people get physchotic about dash cams once they know they have been filmed.. also don't want to attract attention from low life theives.. the silver band on yours could be coevr easily by a strip of black tape trimmed to suit..
All the best

The fuse box is in the passengers side foot well. You just reach in over the carpeting in the back of the foot well and pull the carpet, it will just pop out revealing the fuse box under a cover. The cover comes completely off and on the side of the cover is a folded up manual with the fuse layout.

Can't find the same fuse tap as in your picture

The ones I got are larger and the sticking out cable doesn't fit on the same.slot as you have it. What's the manufacturer name or type of this fuse tap?
