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.
