Using voice functions in the car issue

[Corban227]

So the microphone on the galaxy nexus is really good because in the car it picks up all backround noise and driving noise. when I try to use voice search or any voice function in general, the phone won't hear me and just picks up the backround noise , which gets really frustrating . Is there an app that helps the microphone filter noise and pick up the voice better or should I get some type of external microphone. If I need an external microphone what is my best choice?

A bluetooth may help

I noticed this today as well, I thought my phone was acting ty as it was my second nexus after exchanging my first due to a faulty screen. My car has a lot of engine noise and it didn't pick up at all. But later dropping off some passengers i tried again and it was pretty decent. Glad it isnt the case where it's totally bad, but it sort of defeats the purpose when you can't use it in noisy environments.
