@bustra @InsaneCultist - I have the same issues with TB16. Displays are working (I tried dual display with HDMI/ Displayport) but USB are not working.
Did you make any progress?
Sorry for the late response. To be honest, I haven't had the time to tinker around, so for now I am rocking the 4-connector-approach (power, HDMI, USB-C to DP and USB 3.0 to USB hub). For what it's worth, it saves me the hassle of having to reboot if USB C hot plugging is not working... it works for me and I'm happy with it.
On a side note, I managed to solve my WIFI problems by replacing the antenna located between the display hinges, which was far less complicated than anticipated by following the very detailed service manual by Dell.
However, the only thing bothering me is the fan sound. When booting the fans are completely silent, and start spinning after 3-5 minutes. From there, both CPU and GPU fans idle at around 2500 RPM and never turn off again although temperatures are very cool (CPU around 40°C). Has anyone managed to take full control of the fans? I tried Macs Fan Control, however full control doesn't seem possible. The noise is not too annoying, but I want to get back to the almost always completely silent MacBook Pro I am used to...
