My trailers are asleep for the winter so I have no pics. I upgraded the camera last year to the latest model from Rearview Safety and the video is more clear and a bit wider angle. Overall I'm very happy with the solution and couldn't imagine towing without it. What it doesn't do well is:
1) Real mirrors that show you the sides of the trailer when parking would make it easier. With the video camera and standard Cayenne mirrors, you need a bit more practice.
2) At night on dark highways, the CCD gets saturated with bright headlights. You can see cars, but there is not much detail. Early dawn, things improve.
3) When resting the monitor on the dash, I get a bit of glare so the newer models with a small sun shade might be nice.
I'd give Rear View Safety a call and ask what their latest and greatest camera/monitor combo is. I think the technology is advancing rapidly and the package I bought in 2011 is already out of date.
Good luck.

I bought this mirror as suggested above and it works fine on the 958 Cayenne:

Ultimately, I bought an F-350 dually once I got serious about towing.
