Wireless for passengers in m4

Hey so I ticked every box except concierge services when I ordered my m4. Just wondering if there's a way to give lte/3G to passengers in the car(I know Audi can do it. My buddy does it in his s4)

No hotspot wifi in F80/82/83 like the S4.

If you can send the LTE signal to your car, wouldn't that also allow you to set-up your own wifi hotspot to anyone in the vicinity and bypass the car's systems?

As a long-time ATT user, I was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan and that one doesn't allow you to use the plan as a hotpost. Just switched to T-Mobile and love that feature. Saved my butt last week at the in-laws house.

Well, there is this thing.

Cheaper and easier to just use your phone as a hotspot for your passengers ...

I'm also grandfathered in so I can't use my hotspot. But thanks for the info!
