The iBooster made by Bosch is used in many modern cars. Most well known example probably is the Tesla Model S for the GEN1 and the Tesla Model 3 for the GEN2. But did you know at least 10 other cars are also using the iBooster? Below an overview of iBooster donor vehicles.
iBooster used in electric vehicles (BEV and plugin)
This page provides an overview if possible sources for used iBoosters, where possible including model year (MY) info. You can also check out the EV parts directory for manufacturer part number overviews (online soon).
iBooster GEN2
The GEN2 iBooster is a bit odd shaped and has the ECU connector pointing forwards.
So far only the pinout and wiring of the Tesla iBooster has been tested by EVcreate. So while our connector kit for GEN1 and connector kit for GEN2 fit the other iBooster donor cars too, the pinout for other donors have not been fully verified.

btw vw up has similar device. Its worth checking it out. Connectors looks the same.
Thanks! I’ve added them. Looks like the eUP has the Gen1 iBooster. Will buy one for testing.
do you happen to have the part number larsof the eUp Gen1 Booster
Part numbers for the Volkswagen eUP Gen1 iBooster are:
– 12E614105B
– 12E614105H
– 12E614105K
Is it possible to get just all the connectors? Also is the Honda Accord wiring the same?
Yes, you can buy just the iBooster Gen 2 connector kit.
As far as I know the wiring is the same, but never tested / validated an Accord Gen2 iBooster.
I found a gen2 ibooster on a renault captur hybrid 2020
Thanks for sharing! I’ve added it to the overview as well as some others I’ve found.
