You need to search for wiring diagram for 1981 cutlass. Or just go to your local Autozone or whatever and buy a haynes manual . All diagrams are in it.
It is a simple matter of hooking up the 12v usually to the red wire with a inline fuse. The ground wire - black . The speaker wires - usually green and brown or yellow or blue striped , should be 4 . Perhaps an antenna wire - might be orange. Perhaps a remote wire - might be blue .
It was optional

Follow the instructions in the manual that came with the CD player. If you have no manual then you will need to find the instructions for the particular model you have.

Buy a new radio and install it
where your tape player is in the middler of your dash replace that with your CD player and un hook the wires from your stock radio. I did the same think in my truck and it works fine.
you can get you an rca jack and run it i doubt that cd player has rca inputs besides that it should be a breeze

first you pull the factory plate from the concole, all you need to do that is a flat head screw driver. after the plate is pulled you remove the factory radio, and unplug the wiring from the harness. ensure that you have a wiring harness to match the car, you can buy it at canadiantire for $13. wire your new CD player to this wiring harness and plug the harness into the factory wiring. you will also need a mounting kit that you buy at Canadian tire for $20. install the CD player in the mounting kit and bracket into the dash. now you can reinstall the plate and now the CD player is installed. process takes 20 minutes to an hour.
