I checked with Kat's and the cartridge you are looking for in your 2013 Honda CR-V is the RR or "right rear" location. That means that if you were facing the engine under the hood it's on the left side of the block behind it. So just behind the passenger side corner of the block.

To install, you will drain the radiator and block, and remove the frost plug or core plug making sure to remove any debris. Then lubricate the o-ring on the heater with light weight grease before installing. When installing you will tighten the hex head to torque specs in your instructions. Then you will route the cord to an accessible location avoiding moving parts and extreme heat. Refill the radiator with mixed solution of anti-freeze and run engine to build up pressure. Finally, check for leaks.
