The Curt hitch # C11002 for the 2012 Honda Accord Crosstour is going to be visible below the rear fascia as you can see in the picture I have provided.
What I recommend is EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7299. This hitch has a hidden crossbar and will look great on your Crosstour. This hitch with an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier but can also be used for towing if your vehicle is rated for it.
The EcoHitch trailer hitch does not require the use of a stabilization strap when using a bike rack or cargo carrier. The Curt hitch does require a strap, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads.
For trailer wiring (for towing) use # 118500.
