As title says, do I have the 20 pin circular socket in my car, near the DME?

Thanks!

Nope, it a SCART-like plug beneath the trunk-open button in the drivers-footwell.
It's a standard OBD2 plug.

+1 - All SAE compliant production cars (most production cars worldwide and all sold in the US) manufactured after 1996 have OBDII-type connectors, as shown below:

No, that's an adapter to convert older 20-pin to OBDII (ISO 9141 protocol for European vehicles). Most modern scan tools will have the proper connector, negating the need for the adapter.
