EVO-ONE is preventing my physical key from starting my car.

The EVO-ONE installed in my 2003 Buick Century prevents my car's actual starter(not remote starter) from cranking for 5-10+mins at a time. Here is the rundown: -Unlock car and start with actual key=no issue. -Remote start car with Fortin RF kit, hop into car, insert key and turn ignition to run position=no issue. Here's where it gets weird... -Remote start the car with Fortin RF kit. Car starts and is running. -I hop in and insert the key into ignition but "forget" to turn the ignition barrel at all. -I hit the brake, as you would before putting the car into gear and the car shuts off, as it should, due to the ignition barrel not being turned to "run" position before the brake tap. -After the car has shut off due to tapping the brake before turning ignition to "run", I turn my key that is in the ignition barrel already and my car's actual starter willl not even attempt to crank. All other items in the car turn on as they should(i.e. radio, air, fuel pump primes, etc.). EVO will turn the car on but will not even try and crank the starter if I try to remote start again at this point. -I wait about 10mins and then try a few more times with the actual physical key and the car will start now. So after the car comes back alive, I can turn it on and off with the key a million times in a row just fine. I go and repeat the remote starting and put the key in ignition(but not turned to "run") and tap the brake to shut the car off and the car now will not start again. I can replicate this every single time I do what I described above. This problem cost me $200 and and hour on my back in 5F weather putting a new starter in about a month ago because I figured the starter solenoid died on my wife. Why would this be happening? This car is equipped from the factory with an anti-grind relay. It's acting like anti-grind relay thinks the car is trying to double start, which it's not.
