To add a 4-way connector to your 2023 Mazda CX-5, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C45FV. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Mazda's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector that will control your trailer or accessory's lighting functions.
I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13315 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2023 Mazda CX-5.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
