Default Wiring Power inverter to ignition source

So Im installing a power inverter in the rear and want it to be wired to an ignition source in order to avoid manually flipping it on and off. This is what im running.

Amazon.com: Cobra CPI 480 400-Watt 12-Volt DC to 120-Volt AC Power Inverter with 5-Volt USB Output: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Cobra CPI 480 400-Watt 12-Volt DC to 120-Volt AC Power Inverter with 5-Volt USB Output: Car Electronics

After some thought this is what I have come up with.

I plan on tapping into the switch contacts on the inverter and run a relay to it from an 12V switched ignition source. That way the inverter is flicked on and off with the ignition. I just want some input to make sure I am correct on my wiring and relay setup.
