Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your car is able to detect these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.
BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry.
