Wiring the iBooster
In 2020 I published this blogpost as “Wiring the Tesla iBooster”. At that time Tesla was an early adapter for the Bosch iBooster. Now (January 2024) it is time to update this blogpost to “Wiring the iBooster”. Many other OEM’s are now also using the iBooster.

I will gradually expand this blogpost and explain wiring and other differences between models from the various donors. Any info you have on this is welcome!
Most iBoosters you can buy on eBay or elsewhere come without connectors. If you are lucky they do come with connectors and a bit of wiring. In that case you will still need to extend wires and attach them to your wiring loom. And where to connect which wire to what anyway? This article explains the ins and outs of wiring the Tesla iBooster and from other OEM’s into your car.
It becomes quite straightforward using the GEN1 connector kit and the GEN2 connector kit available from EVcreate with all connectors, terminals / crimp pins, seals and blind plugs. Moreover you will be able to fully integrate the iBooster into your wiring loom.
