To install a brake controller such as # HM47294 on your 2008 Honda Element, it will have to be hardwired in. To start you would install the appropriate trailer connector. You mentioned that your Element has a trailer connector already. It is likely a 4-Way flat trailer connector which only controls the trailer lights.

All you would need is the 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7 and the brake controller. The installation kit comes with all of the parts needed to add a 7-Way connector to the vehicle and it does include the circuit breakers.

I have included a couple of links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.
