I need to replace my radio and I want to stick with OEM. My 8 came with the single disc. If I wanted to put in the 6 disc OEM cd changer, are there any mods that I'll need to do? I also plan on adding a sub and amp to it soon, if that makes any difference.

Should swap right in and sub/amp will make no difference.
But unless you're getting the 6-disc for nearly free, I would encourage you to think again about sticking with OEM. The sound quality of even a cheap aftermarket headunit is head and shoulders above OEM. And you can use a flash drive or iPod to store FAR more than 6 CDs. And the aftermarket headunit would negate your need for a line output converter for the aftermarket amp, saving you ~25 bucks.
Well the reason why I was sticking with OEM is because I mainly need the A/C controls. I didn't find anyone on here that still had them. The cost for me to buy the A/C controls, metra kit, and new radio, would all cost me more than it would be for buying all of it together as OEM. It's reall the cost of the metra kit that sends the price over my limit
