X5 F15: Wifi Hotspot / Apple Carplay

I've search far and wide, both on the forums, google and youtube. I've located the video that shows you how to setup a hotspot, but unfortunately for me, I do not have the same menu as the car in the video nor do I have the same options.

I have a 2018 BMW X5. I have Apple Carplay enabled. If my daughter wants to use her ipad I used to have her use my cell phone as a hotspot. However, because Carplay uses the wifi it won't allow her to use my phone as a hot spot. When I search for wifi connections on her ipad, I see that the BMW pops up as a network, but I can't find the password for her to join.

Questions: (1) can my car utilize Apple Carplay while simultaneously offering a hot spot for others to use, (2) if yes, where do I find the password, because I've gone through all the menus and hit the option button to see if there were any other options, but I've found nothing.

I use my iPhones wifi hotspot to connect my BM3 wifi agent while connected to wireless CarPlay. I have the Joyeauto wireless CarPlay unit but i would think the stock CarPlay would be the same.

I use a car play, and my son's ipad connected to a car's hot spot with no problem.
