With the car powered on (or even with Engine running), I do not get any LED light when pushing the Homelink buttons and the compass doesn't light up.

Any suggestions on what else I need to do or try?
Being that you state you've verified you do indeed have 12v, and have not blown a fuse or anything else, the only thing you need is a true ground wire connected. Triple check you're connecting the ground properly. If this still doesn't work, create your own ground wire secured to metal on the roof.

These things are incredibly simple. 12v and ground, that's it. If you've confirmed your 12v is working and connected properly, ground is your only other concern.
