I just bought a canon 6 d and I can not get my remote EXILE 430 flash. Anyone know why?

I just bought a canon 6 d and I can not get my remote EXILE 430 flash. Anyone know why? Apparently my camera 'new' picture does not "see" the flash, must now the transmitter? Is there a Flash that work wirelessly with my canon 6 d?

All remote flashes need a way to communicate with the camera.  They can be wired or wireless.  The wireless system can be optical or radio.

The key is that there is nothing built in the 6 d to control a flash... If you need something to do this work.

The 430EX II can be triggered via optical signal as a remote "slave" flash (430EX II cannot function as a mode of 'master' (aka 'Commander').)

The method of Cannon to control the 430EX II is to use either:

(a) a "Speedlite ST - E2 transmitter.

(b) speedlite another able to work in "master" mode (and there's a long list... the 600EX / 600EX-RT, the 580EX II, and curiously the 90EX is actually able to perform a 'master').

I recommend either the 600EX-RT (which would be the basis for additional units 600EX-RT in the future that would give you radio trigger) or find a 580EX II.  I probably spend on the 90EX and promote a ST - E2 if desired subject is a way to trigger the remote flash and don't actually want a flash.  The 90EX is not very powerful, so it is not particularly suitable as a stand-alone flash, unless you use it simply as a "fill" flash for close subjects.)

There are also many 3rd party triggers, but the vast majority of them won't let you not use E - TTL (they would be "manual" only) and the units which support E - TTL will be too expensive to buy just a high flash range running as Commander.
