MacBook Pro with Dell TB16 Thunderbolt dock

So, this does not work. If I understand correctly there is a mismatch between what Apple has approved of hardware/thunderbolt peripherals and this certain hardware device.

I also understand there is a "hack" floating around to bypass this apparent software/driver mismatch.

Dear Apple, I have paid a lot of money to have both a MacBook Pro with USB type C Thunderbolt ports, and also this Dell TB16 Thunderbolt dock. When will you update your software so that I can actually use them as intended?

Other third Parties would release similar device which compatible Apple USB-C soon.

kaz-k

I am waiting for 5 months now for devices compatible with Apple USB-C or TB3.1. I do not consider it soon!

It would have been much easier for Apple to allow existing hardware. But it might not be that profitable.

Hi,

You're not talking to Apple here; we're just other users like yourself. To give Apple feedback so they will hear it, go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html

Also, if you can afford to wait a little longer: https://eshop.macsales.com/preorder/owc-thunderbolt-3-dock/

For what it's worth, The Dell WD-15 Dock works quite nicely as does the DA200 (great for travel). Perhaps you could work out an exchange with Dell? the WD-15 is USB-C / displayport, not thunderbolt though and only supports one display out on the Mac which might be a deal breaker.

I have just received a new TB-16 dock for testing and the MacBook reports it as "unsupported". Hopefully it's only a driver issue as I'd like to test it out.

It IS a driver issue, since if you install Windows on your Mac (BootCamp) the Docking-station works like a charm (or so I've heard).  I consider this Apple just being stubborn.

I have been using tb16 for about a month and it has been working fine. Only supports one display at a time (hdmi).  Did require applying the patch to allow unsupported devices in OSX.

Hello,  What patch did you have to apply?  And where would I find it?  Thanks.  :-)

What does shipping soon mean?

Sorry, I don't know.

What patch? Where? Way to be tantalizing...

GitHub - KhaosT/tb3-enabler: Enable Thunderbolt 3 for unsupported peripherals on macOS

Run at your own risk. And be aware:

I would recommend you keep an extra backup of IOThunderboltFamily.kext even though the script is supposed to back it up. You also need to disable SIP in order to run the patch, which leaves your OS more vulnerable and you should remove the patch each time you update your OS (from 10.12.x to 10.12.x+1) and reenable it after the OS is updated. Also wait for the tb3-enabler to get new commits for the latest OSes.

Good luck

Did anyone tried the patch in a MBP 17 with 10.12.16? It didn't worked with me.

I plugged the device and confirmed it show in system report as unsupported, but after the sis/patchreboot the TB16 did not appeared in the Thunderbolt list.

Another interesting thing is that even after I restored the original file, it don't appear anymore at the list.

Anyone had better luck with this configuration?
