When I bought the 580, I thought the same as you that it could be triggered with the pop up. I was told and reading the manual over and over again that I can't.
I eventually went out an extension lead so I could use it off camera.

Oh dear. Thanks Christine. The extension lead for off camera use is £45 from WE. I suppose they would take the remote trigger back in exchange. These camera companies do know how to extract money from you. I'll wait awhile in case someone has a way around it. With the extension lead I guess all the ETTL functions will work.
