My old 306 had the right connector and pins, but didn't output the right
info for normal OBD readers. However, that was a 1998 model, so far
from likely to be compliant compared to a 2002 model.
If I remember correctly, that link I sent also suggested that you could
not register a non-compliant vehicle after that date - so maybe not just
manufactured after that date. I'd be very surprised if they left it
that late to implement it.
Good luck!
