QUESTION: Car is a Hyundai starex 4 door passenger  - The car stereo is similar to the pioneer in dash DVD Multimedia AV receiver with 7" touch screen display car stereo with a usb auxiliary.(model AVH-P5200DVD)  I would like to find a microphone that I can plug into the usb auxiliary so I can talk through the microphone and have it transmit through the car speakers.  Do you know where I can find something like this?

ANSWER: Normally you would need a mic preamp to bring the level up to a higher output but there is a mic that does not need a preamp and is reasonably priced:

This model you have also has an analog audio input which you could use with a conventional battery operated mic preamp and a microphone.  They are easy to find at any music shop or electronic store like FRYs etc.

Let me know if there is more to your question.

QUESTION: Do you know if there is a headset with a microphone that could be used instead of a hand held mic that does not need a preamp?

Answer
Sorry, not that I know of.  However, you may find one by going to google shopping and see what comes up.  

Here is an idea;  microphone with the headphone and bluetooth connectivity!
