Are there any classes other than warlock 2 that give detect magic at will? Preferably some type of prestige class that gives it with a 1 or 2 level dip that has no magical requirement to begin with.

As does the Loremaster PrC at level 6, with the ability entitled Greater Lore.

I believe that list is missing the DFA 1st. The least invocation Magic Insight (I believe it is called that) gives a combination of detect magic and free identify usable at will.

The Lists are from 2008. I don't know of a newer version; ideally, there would be one somewhere, but 3.5 forums have been dying one after the other, so it's no given.

You can also get it from Binder 3 + Improved Binding (or just Binder 5) by binding Karsus.

The AEG witch has detect magic on constantly.

Dweomerkeeper 2 requires pre-existing magical ability, but actually gives Arcane Sight at will as a supernatural ability, which is considerably better than detect magic.

Swordsages get it IIRC, and the feat Elven Spell Lore can give it as well.

IIRC, swordsages only get the ability to recognize magical weapons and armor.

Thanks to at-will cantrips, just about every spellcaster in PF can do it too.

The Soulmeld is probably your best bet without a dip or items.
