What code(s) were thrown after the traction control light came on?
Just hold the "Options" button down and press the "Fuel" button 4 times to pull the codes.
It might just be a loose connection agter the install, but it would still help to check for codes.

Check your codes as indicated above. The yaw rate sensor for the ABS/AH/TC system is just below the A/C head maybe it was moved or disconnected while the installer had the dash apart.
You will not feel much power in 5th until your speed is above 115 while 6th doesn't feel like it has much anywhere. They are both overdrive gears.

Just had to look up what the Avic D3 is. I have a feeling they tapped into some electrical wires they shouldn't have when they installed it. You can try clearing the codes and see if that straightens it out.
