I can't control spotify using my car's media controls

[#1]

2014 Chevrolet Cruze without MyLink. When my phone is connected to the stereo via USB, I can't control spotify using the media controls (like pause/play, skip, etc). The controls themselves do work since it controls the regular radio and other audio apps just fine so i think it's an issue with spotify itself but I haven't been able to figure it out
