My Headunit now has CD text capability (used on orininal CDs), and I was wondering if a piece of software exists that can burn custom CDs and write CD text to be displayed when playing?

Cheers

Nero Supports this feature, but it needs a CDR/CDRW that supports CD-Text also.

You just use normal blank CD-R discs.

Or I did missunderstand the question?

Your writer has to support CD TEXT writing.

As stated, writer needs to support text & then use Nero - it will even look up all the text for you on CDDB as long as you have a web connection.

The only other thing you need to do is close the session when you record.

CD's are so cheap these days - I copy them whenever I buy them just to get the text on.
