Helpful Expert Reply:
The Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118427 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2011 Honda CR-V and DOES include a taillight converter. You would not need to purchase a converter separately.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
