That's why you're not finding a signal when you try to program it - you need the remote to do it.

It's made to be a replacement for the remote or a connivence - like if you have a two car garage and one remote, you can program your 370z and leave the remote in your other car to use. It's not designed to be programed without a remote on hand.
I agree, not sure what the manual says but I needed to do it like this as well as the learn button. I was doing 2 cars at the same time so it got a little confusing but it did eventually work.
To OP you do have to hold homelink button down for 1 or 2 seconds to get the door to open and for me if you're too far away it won't work either.
