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?

MacBook Pro, iOS 10.3.1

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

I'm trying this with a 13 inch MBPro. It disappeared as an unsupported device from mine too, though I did do a forceapply.

@Galifreyan a 2017 model?

After a call to Dell support, they will replace my TB16 with a new one. Maybe be there an issue with the 2017 models and the patch don't work with them?
