Imagine that... the one app I actually want I cant get lol

 

There is no Torque app for the iPhone. Android only.

 

The Torque app is not available on the IOS (Apple) platform.

Apple has a very restricted view of what Bluetooth is meant for, apparently. There are applications available, for $30 last time I looked, but they don't interface via Bluetooth, I think they use their own USB-dongle.

 

I know this is old, but...
I will mention that co-workers have found Apps pretty similar to Torque for their Iphones recently.
I have an Android and use Torque for some simple stuff.
But...
I have a question for those more familiar with it.
Transmission info beyond fluid temp. available???
I have the cheap elm327 adapters for my 2007 Fusion and 2004 Expedition.
Cheap and handy.
Just sometimes it takes me a little bit to get the connection to the vehicle.
My question is because the transmission is my Fusion is slipping pretty bad.
A while back I took another vehicle to the transmission shop locally and they went through the OBDII port with a scanner.
Can the elm327 and Torque App tell me anything about the trans beyond fluid temp??
Also, I have so far drained a quart and added a bottle of snake oil (Bars Leak 2 part trans fix all).
Drove that for a day, then drained it and filled with fresh fluid.
Drove for a week and it was slightly better.
Then pulled pan, replaced filter, cleaned minimal fuzz off the magnet, and fresh fluid again.
I had used Max Life fluid.
Again, a little better than before but still slipping.
The week old fluid had darkened and looked much worse than I expected after just such a short time.
I now see that a specific FNR5 fluid is called for.
Any idea if the difference in fluids is enough to make much a difference??
All the info I see online is pretty old regarding any other acceptable fluid types.
Any recent replacements?
I admittedly was surprised to find so many choices and no "TYPE F".
So I have heard that I am too old school and need the specific/expensive FNR5.
Appreciate any help advice.

Sorry to have thrown in such random transmission issue in an old Torque App thread, just searched Torque and threw this out there.
THANKS

 

Dude if your tranny is already slipping, then transmission fluid temps and fluid changes and snake oils are TOO LATE.
