Turn your radio on, then HOLD the SSP button until it says "Car Type __" in the display. You can roll the volume **** to select tC, xB, or xD. Then press the SSP button again to save it.
rock on, thanks for that info

Did I mention that they routed the shift cables improperly?

the hatch design leads to more wind & road noise because it is not aerodynamic and there is no rear trunk to isolate some of the back wheel noise. i plan to upgrade to quieter tires in the future

Not so much the hatch design as the lack of insulation materials in the firewall and the wheel wells.. understandably so.. to save cost and weight.
I don't mind the noise.. It keeps you connected..
