Best wide angel rear cam?

I have innstalled the Hids4u GVIF unit, working fine now. My goal was to se the towball when reversing, but my cam only showed me the terrain 3ft behind car. I have cut off the cam housing and adjusted it downwards, but now i cant se much of the terrain behind. Is there a cam that have enough wide angle to do both?

If you have a GVIF you could use 2 cameras and the just select whichever you need?

Yes, but:
1 There isn't room for another cam in the tailgate.
2 The GVIF unit doesn't allow to toggle between av1-3 when car is in reverse.(mine doesn't, locked to rearcam input)

So i still need a good quality wide angel camera.

I've fitted this after market reversing camera and works great, it can see the the tow ball and also the rear coverage that you want. It does need to be fitted into the cap that is in the hole where the original camera would go, not the number plate light conversion.
