First, make sure to lower the writing speed. I'd use x8 or something.
And some car stereos are more sensitive than others.
As for CLI rip/burn I just tried this (from the wodim manpage):
"To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run
'icedax dev=/dev/cdrom -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav'
and then run
'wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav'
This will try to copy track indices and to read CD-Text information
from disk. If there is no CD-Text information, icedax will try to get
the information from freedb.org instead"
You might need to adjust the device names to suite your setup.
I don't know (and I doubt it) if icedax is more accurate than
cdparanoia but it seems to be the only "easy" way of ripping cd-text.
I also haven't verified if it's really gapless but the -dao should
indicate it.
