Yes. But most connectors and relays are still through hole. The problems I have had with mine were all through hole connections on cheap single sided boards. Plated through holes on the boards would add greatly to reliability. It is shocking to me that Mercedes cuts this basic corner at the expense of so many electrical problems.
