I wired my 2006 CR-V so the brake lights are fed from the coach. Scott sent me his wiring diagrams, and I used a wiring kit with diodes as Dennis said.
Anytime I'm braking enough to turn on the coach brake lights, the brake lights on the CR-V are on. I've not had any problems with it working like that in several thousand miles of travel.
I believe the front area of the CR-V was redesigned on the 2007 and later models, so the Blue Ox baseplate probably is easy to install. On my 2006, I went with a Roadmaster base plate because the Blue Ox would have required me to drill out a couple of welds and chisel off part of the existing bumper/fascia bracket. The Roadmaster was a direct bolt-on.
