I presently have one of these that works with Torque, etc:

(Note: If you use one of these, don't leave it plugged in. It sometimes prevents the car from starting if you do).

Torque is great, but yeah, a friend of mine (who is also unfortunate enough to own a few Apple products ) had to make do with WiFi and some other inferior Apps too.
