Rear View Camera-Horrible View

I have a 2008 Cayenne S. It has the rear camera option. It has to be the worst camera angle i've seen for a rear view camera. I'm not sure if mine is faulty or if every camera is like that. Has anyone replaced their camera with an aftermarket one?

It can be adjusted. It should be a near vertical angle with the edge of your bumper showing at the top of the screen. I find it very handy for parking, since you can see where things are in reference to your bumper, and you can clearly see paint lines or obstacles on the ground.

How to adjust?

I looked at mine on my 09 CTTS & is doesn't look adjustable.
Did they change the mounting from 08?
Mine points almost straight down & thus I only get a view about 3 feet behind me. I agree it is a very poor angle.
If anyone knows how to adjust the angle please post up instructions.
Thanks

It is a great angle for hooking up a trailer to my hitch but that is all it is good for.

I was able to change the angle some, but not much by heating the bracket up with a heat-gun & slightly bending it down. I got about another 2 feet on top of view. May have been able to go a little further but I was getting too scared it wouldn't close properly afterwards....a little improvement though.
