If I leave my keyfob in a bag that I place in the frunk, would this still be recognized as being in the car so that I can still drive and also not be locked out?

Why would you want to do that?
Same as leaving in your coat pocket when using the car and leaving your coat in either the trunk or frunk and shouldn't be an issue as long as the key can be detected.

Yeah, exactly. I usually have my key in a backpack and want to just store the backpack in the frunk.

Historically hasn't been an issue when I've done that but the risk is that if the interior sensor loses contact with the key fob then you'll likely get some warnings (and PVTS+ would most likely be triggered too).

You'll know pretty much immediately when powering on the car - either it will or it won't!
