Since the fob doesn't detect that it's near/in the vehicle, then it won't be active.

Even without the battery, if it's hidden near the backup start location, you could start the vehicle. I'm not sure where it is in the 16's, but in my 14 it's in the front wall of the center console. I would hide it in the rear just because it's not in an easy location for someone to find it.
The battery trick is the free way of hiding a key fob. The signal blocking bag is a good idea also, but would require buying one.
