I have a 2015 BMW 335i F30 with a Blackvue dr650gw-2ch.

I'm planning on purchasing the Moto Park Multi Safer here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00JFUU87G
I've purchased this crimper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B000JNNWQ2
Now the question (why I created this thread) is, which add-a-fuse should I go with? I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing this correctly but I purchased three of these:

This was before I realized there are different add-a-fuse (mini, standard, etc) and different amps, voltages, this all just confuses me.

Can someone post an Amazon link of which exact add-a-fuse I should buy for my car? I've read Batt+ to #161 and Acc+ to #143.

Also if I need to buy anything else? I've purchased a black tape.

Not sure why, but I would like everything to look organized also.
 
Best way to check would be to pull out an existing fuse from the fuse box and compare it to pictures of the 3 different types of fuses available with the fuse taps.

You can safely use a 5 amp fuse once you know the type.

Not sure what the black tape is for. Do not just twist the wires together and cover them with tape. Use the bullet connectors supplied with the fuse taps, or even better; solder the fuse taps to the batt and acc wires.

Not sure which fuse type your car has. The only way to know what type of add a fuse you need to purchase is to pull out an existing fuse to see what type of fuse your car has. I know some of newer cars now have the micro2 (a.k.a. ATR). I made the mistake of buying too many low profile add a fuses since I first did not check what type of fuse my car had. I was also hardwiring a dashcam into my girlfriends 2016 Lexus and they use low profile fuses, and the fuse pictured in my owner's manual showed a low profile fuse, but when I pulled out the fuse, it was different than what was shown in the owners manual.
 
For F30 BMW it will be 1x Mini and 1x ATO. If you are hooking up multi safer to constant only, then you just need the 1x ATO
