Help with wiring aftermarket device into clock (1 Viewer)

[Mossy]

Heyo, first time caller but long time listener.

I have a Autool x95 GPS slope/altimeter device that I want to get wired up, but want to get it right, I:e, I don't want to kill my battery OR reset my the devices clock. The x95 installation says: Red wire to ACC, black to ground. Gives a warning that you don't want it wired to the battery as it might drain.

So, the manual lists the clock wiring as such:
Harness 1,2,3 4
1. Ground
2. Power Source (illumination)
3. Power Source (system operation)
4. Power Source (display operation)

Am I correct in thinking that I want to attach the black to ground (1) and then to ACC (4)?
Yes, I know that is what the x95 says, but I also wanted to make sure I understand what the different pin were used for.

My understanding is that the original clock used 2 so you could see the clock, 3 to keep it charged and 4 so you could see it when the key is turned to ACC without turning on the engine.

Finally, how should I actually connect everything? Can I get a new clockside harness, or should I look to another way. I'd rather not cut the harness off, but I'm not experienced enough to know what parts I would be chasing down.

Thank you!

Most likely need multiple wires plus ground. If it like a lot of car electronics, the illumination is to tie into the dimmer circuit or senses the headlight off and on so at nighttime is not blinding at full brightness.

Power with 1 and 4
Here it is with my mount kit in place of the clock

You can use insulated spade connectors in the oem plug.
