Hi, i live in argentina and here we cant buy official apple accesories for the iphone (As far as i know) cause apple wont comercialize any :P

the wal charger has the following specs:

5v
1A

i can get a car charger thats for ipods (that use the SAME wall charger as my iphone), but with this specs:

10V
0.5A

can i use it or what ?

Yes it will work fine, I have been in cellular for over a decade, selling mostly accessories, but if you want to be safe just order an oem one over ebay, it will cost the same.

i dont think i can buy from ebuy in my country (and the mail here sucks and they steal most stuff too, so ordering from abroad is risky and expensive )

another option is to buy an ipod car charger from apple, i dont now if the specs tho.

I don't know if you want to risk it. I've read many cases where people didn't use "for iPhone" products and fried their phones because of the voltage. of course not all would fry your phone but definitely do some search on which ones work and which won't...

That is bad advice Jac...celluar expert. You really should not use any charger that is not certified with the iPhone. I almost ruined my iphone with a Griffin iTrip. It worked with the FM, but the phone got so hot in minutes. Luckily I unplugged it. I use a iphone charger from extrememac works great. Does not overheat, etc...
