🗒 A note on the Dell TB16
Many people file bugs here about their Dell TB16 dock.
The USB, Thunderbolt 3, and audio out ports should regain functionality after installing Thunderbolt 3 Unblocker.
However, video output does not work. Unfortunately, this is out of scope for this project.
Thunderbolt 3 Unblocker allows the Thunderbolt 3 driver to recognize the TB16, but other drivers in the system are responsible for activating the downstream peripherals, including the display. For whatever reason, an update to macOS High Sierra broke support for the displays attached to the TB16.
Update
You could try performing a firmware upgrade on the TB16, which has been reported to restore video (HDMI output). However, the firmware upgrade must be performed from Windows. It is unlikely that this will work from WINE or a virtual machine.
I have 2018 new macbook pro with mojave, and the mac can recognize tb15. However, the tb15 can only charge, no usb and no video ouput.
@flyingtango & @barongun If you've installed this driver correctly, you should be able to use USB on the tb16. Mine works.
Also I found that I sometimes have to run the install command again, after I have restarted the mac.
You can check in the Apple -> About this Mac -> System report -> Thunderbolt. It should say if its supported or not
@Michaelkire You are Right. Finally, I Use Lan Port, USB Port and earphone Port. Thank You. But, still no video outputTT
Thanks guys, just prevented me from picking up a TB16 on ebay for use with my MBP TB3. I need TB3 video out to my apple display and displayport for my dell display so this was so close, and so cheap but i guess ill have to stick with my 3x more expensive StarTech usb c dock. works perfectly if anyones interested
Hey guys, I have a new Dell: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-laptops-netbooks-and-tablets/new-xps-15/spd/xps-15-9570-laptop/nxps1570_bt_s1649e
Ports & Slots
- SD card slot | 2. USB 3.1 Gen 1 with Power Delivery | 3. Battery gauge button and indicator | 4. Noble lock slot | 5. AC power | 6. HDMI 2.0 | 7. Thunderboltâ„¢ 3 (4 lanes of PCI Express Gen 3) supporting: Power Delivery, Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps bi-directional), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), Native DisplayPort 1.2 video output, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and USB-A via Dell Adapter (sold separately) | 8.

I thought I could use my old Apple Cinema display (mini-display port) with my Dell (through USB-C = Thunderbolt3 port) running Mojave. Is there anyway to make my Cinema Display to work with an USB-C hub or otherwise?
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
TB16
- USB2/3 works
- LAN works
- video no work

TB16 - MacBook Air 2018. Thanks to the unblocked it is recognized, however video does not work. Any tips, patches, driver update news are always welcome.
THX
I also have the new macbook air 2018 but the dell tb16 will only charge after applying the script, no video (using the Apple Cinema Display 27), no usb. Had to Modify the script to make it work with 10.4.1. Also looking for a solution...
Me too, tb15 is recognized, usb is working but hdmi dp are all not working.
Macbook 13.3 2018 with Mojave
I'm locking this topic. Video does not work on TB16. That's the message I wrote above. If you try it, and it doesn't work, please don't be surprised. It doesn't work. This project doesn't fix it. No additional data points are necessary.
Update
If you are still interested in a solution, please try performing a firmware upgrade on the TB16, which has been reported to restore video over the HDMI port. However, the firmware upgrade must be performed from Windows. It is unlikely that this will work from WINE or a virtual machine.
Works for me like a charm - thank you so much for the update!
edit: I thought both screens on the TB worked fine but apparently the screens are synced and I only see one screen on the MAC monitor settings page. So it's not possible to use the extend screen mode on two screens from the TB. (I use HDMI and mDP)
thanks for your update, however I am using the out-of-date tb15 dock. Hoping dell can release some firmware updates
Tried Updating the firmware using win10 bootcamp and got "unable to get system info" error. anybody run into this error before..?
Just FYI folks
The Dell D6000 docks work with the Macbook using DisplayLink software. I have one for work and one for home. Home uses Dual 4k and at work I'm using triple 1080p monitors. No issues plus it charges the macbook. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-universal-dock-d6000/apd/452-bcyt/pc-accessories

I am getting the same error. Tried on both macbook pro 2018 amd razer blade 15. I guess we need a xps 15 to update it.
I was playing with different TB3 drivers from Intel NUCs and now I am getting "Could not find valid policy or resource payload"
Using
- macOS 10.14.3
- Thunderbolt3Unblocker v0.04
- DELL TB16 Firmware Version 1.0.2
I can confirm the HDMI output is working as already mentioned. The Display ports are (yet) not working but I can confirm them working with Windows 10.
Connection a second display to a mDP downstream port for MST the second disaply is not recognized. Also the fancy LED inside the TB3 cable is not illuminated, indicating connection to the TB16 dock.
Anyone tried connecting a second display via USB-C/TB3 downstream port of the DELL TB16?
@NihalPandit I have a DELL 7370, too which is used for FW updating through Windows 10.
I can confirm the Ethernet Port is working, too

Hi mate, whre you find Thunderbolt3Unblocker version 0.04 ???

Hi mate, whre you find Thunderbolt3Unblocker version 0.04 ??? https://github.com/rgov/Thunderbolt3Unblocker/releases/download/v0.0.4/Thunderbolt3Unblocker.zip
I was indeed referring to v0.0.4 and not v0.04, sorry!
But I can confirm that the USB-C downstream port on the TB16 can drive one DisplayPort Display, too.
Together with the HDMI output one could connect up to two displays to this Dock. Using Windows one could drive up to 4 displays with the TB3 downstream port
@jackie099 and @NihalPandit I had that same issue and I was able to resolve it by updating to an older version of the dock firmware and then updating to the newest version. Jumping to the latest from very old firmware doesn't seem to work, but hopping between works.
@pavanagrawal123 do you mean you got TB16 displays to work with some firmware combination?
Can you give details on which firmware version(s) to use? I'm using latest version and TB16 does not work.
For me only HDMI works. If I use DP then I get synced screens not extended ones. Weird.

That's weird. I'm able to get extended screen with DP and latest dock firmware. I only connect one external monitor and it's 1920x1200. Maybe that's the reason.
