With VCDS you can see the list and which ones are selected; then you check what you've got and make sure the list matches

On my car I started getting Gateway error messages like yours when my telephone ECU failed; the Gateway thought it didn't have one so it generated the mismatch DTC.

Delboy's guessing you haven't got that function in OBDEleven ...
