Years ago I found a good list of manufacturers and the year they became compliant. I can’t seem to find the same list today (isn’t that the way with the internet?). I did find this site that seems to list the recovery capability of the vehicles which indicates whether they are compliant or not. This should suffice:
Well that’s disappointing. But I did a bit more looking and at least it looks like it needs to be actively plugged into something to get information out of. This model year/trim package doesn’t really have, like, stuff? Just Bluetooth, and looks like that’s not useful for anything but audio.
Definitely wish I could entirely disable it, but… is what it is I guess, and at least it’s not phoning that info home, or sending to anyone else.
This is what I found from 2014, so before every car was a full service internet infotainment spyware system on wheels.

It looks like you are in luck! Bad luck anyways. 2012 was the first year that Honda model was compliant according to that site.
Edit: Here is another list so you might cross check (PDF warning): https://www.collision-recon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/EDR-Supported-Vehicles-List.pdf
